Subduction rate refers to the speed at which one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another in a subduction zone. This rate can vary depending on the specific subduction zone and the tectonic forces at play. Subduction rates are important in understanding plate tectonics and the geologic processes that shape the Earth's surface.

What is it called when two plates slide one under the other?
It is known as subduction.
Is mount Cleveland a subduction zone?
Moun Cleveland formed as a result of a subduction zone, but is not a subduction zone in and of itself. A subduction zone is a feature that forms volcanoes, not a kind of volcano.

How does subduction effect Volcanoes?
Subduction zones involve an oceanic plate sliding beneath either a continental plateor another oceanic plate (that is, the subducted plate is always oceanic while the subducting plate may or may not be oceanic). Subduction zones are often noted for their high rates of volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building. This is because subduction processes result in melt of the mantle that produces a volcanic arc as relatively lighter rock is forcibly submerged.

What is the process in which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle is called?
The process in which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle is called subduction. This occurs at convergent plate boundaries, where one tectonic plate slides beneath another. Subduction zones are associated with deep-sea trenches and volcanic activity.
