When oceanic lithosphere collides with another plate, the older, colder plate goes beneath the younger, warmer plate in the process of subduction.

A subduction zone is a location where two of the planet's tectonic plates collide and one dives, or subducts, beneath the other. It is one of the largest collision scenes on Earth. Some of the strongest earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes on Earth can result from this tectonic process.

Pieces of the Earth's solid outer layer known as tectonic plates slowly migrate across the surface of the globe over millions of years. This lithosphere material curls downward into the hot mantle at subduction zones, where two tectonic plates collide and one slides beneath the other.
