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!!!

I’m not sure exactly what you’re looking for, but the US spent $15m dollars and gained 54% of Mexico’s pre-1836 territory. There’s a nice article on Wikipedia called ‘Mexican Cession’ that seems helpful. Hope this is helpful :)

Does anyone know how to do transformation
Ipatiy [6.2K]
I can't see the picture, but to do the dilation you must first figure out the coordinates of the first image and then figure out what half of it is and add that on to the new image or take that much off of the new image.

*To dilate means to make bigger or smaller
