In plate tectonics, a subduction zone is where two plates meet. One plate, the heavier (usually an oceanic plate) slides under the other (the lighter). This makes it a prime site for earthquakes and volcanos. This is a destructive boundary.

  • Subduction is the converging of two tectonic plates in which one is forced beneath the other. Typically, this occurs when an oceanic plate meets a continental plate. The more dense oceanic plate is forced under the less dense continental plate and into the Earth's mantle.
