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 kind of plate boundary does subduction take place at?

Subduction takes place at a convergent plate boundary, where two tectonic plates collide and one plate is forced beneath the other into the Earth's mantle. This process is associated with the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.

What boundary is it called when an oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate?

It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).
