Question

When two plates form a subduction zone, which plate will subduct

Answer 1

The denser plate

Explanation:

When two plates forms a subduction zone, the denser plate will subduct and dive into the underlying mantle below.

Subduction zone occurs along a convergent margin when two plates of different densities collides.

• When two plates of different densities collides, the denser plates subduct.
• This is because the density of the mantle below is less than its own density.
• Most times, oceanic plates usually subduct during plate convergence.
• Oceanic plates are denser compared to continental plates.
