THE COLLISION OF PLATES PUSHED FROM OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS CAUSES THE PLATES TO MOVE OVER AND UNDER EACH OTHER WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE PROCESS CALLED
Answer (1)
The process is called "subduction." Subduction occurs when two tectonic plates collide, and one plate is forced beneath the other into the Earth's mantle. This typically happens at convergent boundaries, where an oceanic plate (which is denser) sinks under a continental plate (which is less dense). This process can lead to the formation of volcanoes, earthquakes, and deep ocean trenches.
