Unveiling the Mystery: Exploring the Absence of Subduction Trenches on Continental Land
Geology & Landform1. Getting Started Subduction is a geological process in which one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate, typically forming a subduction zone and associated subduction trench. These subduction trenches are typically found in oceanic environments, where one oceanic plate subducts beneath another plate, resulting in the formation of deep trenches such as the Mariana
