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 :)

Your answer is that they go under each other.

Hope this helps Sniper!!!

The increased temperature will also disrupt the fauna and floral life. All automobiles don't necessarily have to contribute to global warming. There exist eco-friendly automobiles as well.
