The process when one plate is forced beneath another at a convergent plate boundary is called SUBDUCTION. When two plates converge, their difference in densities will cause one layer to be forced to be above or below. The more dense plate will be forced to go beneath the less dense plate.

Why does the equatorward bending of height contours for the 500 mb level imply the presence of a trough?
sertanlavr [38]

The equatorward bending of height contours for the 500 mb level imply the presence of a trough because  this represents a region of overall lower heights. A valley and a trough are hence equivalent in the upper air flow.

A trough is a linear structural depression with lateral length that occurs in geology. A trough can be a small basin or a natural rift, albeit it is lower than a trench. At the edge of tectonic plates, these landforms frequently form.

Trough, an extended depression in the seafloor that differs from oceanic trenches in that it is shallower, shorter, narrower, and topographically more mild. The Papuan Trough's maximum depth is 2,300 m (7,500 feet), while the Banda Trough's maximum depth is 7,440 m.
