Is subduction divergent?
Subduction is a process that takes place at convergent boundaries.
What boundary does subduction take place?
Subduction takes place at destructive plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate into the mantle. This process occurs at convergent boundaries, where plates are moving toward each other. Subduction zones are marked by deep oceanic trenches and volcanic arcs.
What does subduction have to do with geology?
Subduction is part of the geological process of plate tectonics. A subduction zone is a place where the oceanic plate is sinking back in to the mantle (usually at the edge of a continental plate.
What is it called when two plates slide one under the other?
It is known as subduction.
What is a depression in the ocean floor where subduction takes place called?
A depression in the ocean floor where subduction takes place is called a trench. Trenches are formed at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, leading to the recycling of old oceanic crust back into the mantle.
Where does Subduction take place on the ocean floor?
Subduction of the ocean floor takes place at trenches.
Where does subduction of the ocean floor take place?
deep-ocean trench

What is taking place at the Mid Atlantic Ridge?
subduction
Subduction of the ocean floor takes place?
trenches
what is place where subduction occurs?
Where two plates collide
Do subduction take place when two oceanic crust meet?
No subduction doesn't take place when two oceanic crust meet. When two oceanic crusts meet, it is called a divergent boundary. Crustal features vary such as one like mid-ocean rdges. Subducting takes place when an OCEANIC and CONTINENTAL plate meet not when two oceanic plates meet.

Where does subduction of ocean floor takes place?
deep-ocean trench
Does subduction happen at a plate boundary?
Subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate.
What is the name of the place where the crust goes back down into the earth?
That would be Subduction.
