Answer:

The Process of Subduction

Step-by-step explanation:

The Process of Subduction

¨The process by which ocean floor sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle is called subduction. As subduction occurs the crust closer to a mid-ocean ridge moves away from the ridge and toward a deep-ocean trench.¨
