Subduction zones are broad areas where two. plates are moving in opposite directions. The. oceanic plate descends beneath a continental. plate in this example. [See Divergent and. Convergent Plate Boundaries for more-. detailed depictions].
Subduction boundaries occur where oceanic lithosphere is pushed beneath continental or oceanic lithospheres. Where two plates converge at an oceanic trench a subduction boundary is formed as cold oceanic lithospheres are pushed back down into the mantle. This happens because the oceanic plate is denser than the continental plate so, as they move together, the oceanic plate is forced underneath the continental plate. In this case, one plate overrides, or subducts the other, pushing it slowly downward into the mantle where it melts to form magma.
