Exploring the Abyss: Unveiling the Subduction Zones Where the Sea Floor Plunges into the Earth’s Mantle
Geology & LandformGetting Started The Earth’s crust is composed of several tectonic plates that float on a semi-fluid mantle beneath them. The study of plate tectonics has revealed many geological features and processes that shape our planet. One fascinating aspect of plate tectonics is subduction zones, where one tectonic plate sinks beneath another in the Earth’s mantle.
