A subduction zone is formed when an oceanic plate converges with either another oceanic plate or a continental plate, leading the denser oceanic plate to be forced beneath the lighter plate. This process occurs at tectonic plate boundaries and is characterized by deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and significant seismic activity. Over time, the subducting plate melts and contributes to the formation of magma, which can lead to volcanic eruptions.
