Question

Which kind of plate movement is shown in this figure?

a) uplift
b) subduction
c) divergent
d) lateral slipping

Answer 1

It is called subduction because it is going downwards and sideways.

Answer 2

The answer is; B

The picture depicts two tectonic plates colliding with one submerging under the other. In most cases, the oceanic plates are subducted under the tectonic plate. This forms a destructive tectonic boundary. An example of this boundary is between the Nazca plate and South American plate and between Pacific Plate and Eurasian Plate.
