Description
Subduction zone. Cutaway artwork showing the processes that occur at a subduction zone between two tectonic plates. An oceanic plate (left) is descending beneath a continental plate (right). At the boundary, new rock is formed from volcanic eruptions (upper right) as the oceanic plate melts and molten rock rises to the surface.
