Subduction Zones.
subduction, which is when one tectonic plate is pushed down beneath another tectonic plate.

Mount St. Helens is a result of subduction as the Juan de Fuca Plate is pushed under the North American Plate.
It gets pushed down under the lighter plate. This process is called subduction.
Subduction zones are where lighter (less dense) stuff get pushed below heavier stuff.

A geographical subduction zone is a fault line where two plates move towards each other. The more dense plate gets pushed under the other; this is called subduction.
It is called subduction.
Subduction.
When one tectonic plate is pushed beneath another plate, it is called subduction. This process occurs at convergent plate boundaries where one plate is denser than the other, causing it to sink into the mantle. Subduction zones are associated with deep ocean trenches and can lead to volcanic activity and earthquakes.
Oceanic plates are pushed down into the upper mantle in a process 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 earthquakes and volcanic activity.
This process is known as subduction, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate in the Earth's lithosphere. Subduction zones are often associated with the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs due to the intense heat and pressure created by the descending plate melting the mantle.
