Subduction

Explanation:

When an oceanic crust collides with the edge of a continent, subduction occurs with a host of physical geological structures.

This kind of margin is called a convergent margin.

  • The earth is broken into series of slabs called lithosphere.
  • When an oceanic crust collides with the edge of a continent, the oceanic crust will subduct and go under the continental crust into the asthenosphere.
  • The continental crust is less dense and buoyant.
  • Oceanic crust is denser than the asthenosphere below and it will sink into it.

But in this day and age they are becoming more and more frequent, and causing more and more catastrophes and chaos. We must face up to the truth: disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes are approximately 40 % more common in our time due to the actions of not just global corporations and national industries, but of the heartless, ignorant manner in which so many of us choose to live our lives today
