Intro to Environmental Systems
Subduction zones are regions of the Earth's lithosphere where one tectonic plate moves under another and sinks into the mantle as the plates converge. These zones are crucial in understanding plate tectonics as they are associated with some of the most significant geological processes, including earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the recycling of materials back into the Earth’s interior.
