Definition of subduction in English English dictionary: the action of being pushed or drawn beneath another object; {n} the act of taking away, subtraction; the process whereby the edge of one crustal plate descends below the edge of another; Process whereby one plate made up of ocean crust is carried down into the mantle beneath another plate; The process of one lithospheric plate descending beneath another; The process in which one huge plate of the earth's crust descends beneath another plate; Arithmetical subtraction; The sinking of an oceanic plate edge as a result of convergence with a plate of lesser density Subduction often causes earthquakes and creates volcano chains; The descent of one lithospheric plate beneath another; {i} withdrawal, taking away, reduction; process of one plate of the Earth's crust being forced underneath another (Plate Tectonics); The act of subducting or taking away; The process in which one lithospheric plate collides with and is forced down under another plate and drawn back into the Earth's mantle; a geological process in which one edge of a crustal plate is forced sideways and downward into the mantle below another plate; n the process of sliding under another object; including one crustal plate sliding beneath another at a subduction zone; Process of plate tectonics where one lithospheric plate is pushed below another into the asthenosphere; The process of the oceanic lithosphere colliding with and descending beneath the continental lithosphere; The process by which oceanic crust of one lithospheric plate moves down beneath oceanic or continental crust of another plate, resulting in the formation of a deep ocean trench, an inclined zone of earthquake activity (Benioff Zone) and volcanic activity due to the melting of the subducting plate; the sinking of one plate under another as they move toward each other; The process of one plate descending beneath another
subduction zone: A region of the Earth where one tectonic plate is diving beneath another into the interior of the Earth
subduction zone: A place of the planetary crust where a tectonic plate slides downward These zones are where sections of the ocean's floor are pushed under continents This process builds mountains and sparks volcanism in these areas It's more so a cause and effect of up and down
subduction zone: The limit between converging plates, along which the oceanic lithosphere of a plate plunges below another plate It occurs at active continental margins and island arcs Over the plunging plate, volcanic ranges develop, the best known being the Pacific ring of fire
subduction zone: Linear area where tectonic subduction takes place
subduction zone: An elongate region in which a crustal mass descends below another crustal mass
subduction zone: Oceanic trench area in which, according to the theory of plate tectonics, the seafloor underthrusts an adjacent plate, dragging the accumulated trench sediments downward into the Earth's upper mantle. See also deep-sea trench
subduction zone: The place where two lithosphere plates come together, one riding over the other Most volcanoes on land occur parallel to and inland from the boundary between the two plates
subduction zone: zone where the geologic process in which one edge of one crustal plate is forced below the edge of another occurs
subduction zone: An area where oceanic crust slides beneath another piece of crust and is consumed by the heat inside the Earth
subduction zone: A place on the surface of the Earth where two plates move toward each other, and the oceanic plate plunges beneath the other tectonic plate
subduction zone: The structure formed at a convergent margin when one lithospheric plate sinks beneath another
subduction zone: the location where one plate sinks under another and trenches are formed Also known as convergent boundaries
subduction zone: a narrow, elongate region in which one lithospheric plate is forced under another by tectonic activity
subduction zone: An elongated region along which a plate descends relative to another plate, for example, the descent of the Nazca plate beneath the South American plate along the Peru-Chile Trench
subduction zone: Elongate region in which the sea floor slides beneath a continent or island arc
subduct: To move downwards underneath something
subduct: To push under or below
subduct: To remove; to deduct; to take away; to disregard
subduct: {v} to take or draw away
subduct: To subtract by arithmetical operation; to deduct
subduct: {f} withdraw, take away
subduct: To withdraw; to take away
subducted: past of subduct
