Hello There!

Subduction occurs at destructive plate boundaries. It is when a heavier/denser oceanic plate gets pushed down into the mantle by the less dense continental plate. The point where the oceanic plate subducts is called the subduction zone.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)

Here is your answer:

Well, subduction is a process where two boundaries move under each other there can be also known as "subduction zones" which is where most of the subduction happens. The boundaries can be called convergent boundaries.

Just remember that subduction is when two boundaries go under each other.

Your answer is that they go under each other.

Hope this helps Sniper!!!

What effects do glaciers have on climates
MArishka [77]

Answer:

They are the most visible evidence of global warming today. In addition to raising sea water levels, widespread loss of glaciers will likely alter climate patterns in other, complex ways. For example, glaciers' white surfaces reflect the sun's rays, helping to keep our current climate mild.

I hope this helps!
