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.


What is the process of the ocean floor sinking beneath a deep ocean trench and back into the mantle known as?

The process of the ocean floor sinking beneath a deep ocean trench and back into the mantle is known as subduction. This occurs at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another due to differences in density. Subduction zones are associated with volcanic activity and the formation of mountain ranges.
