The events taking place in two different locations are described below:
Location A: An oceanic plate collides with a continental plate
Location B: Lithospheric plates move apart below the ocean
In which location will subduction most likely take place and why?
Location B, because divergent plates cause subduction
Location B, because seafloor spreading causes subduction
Location A, because the oceanic plate and continental plate are pushed up together
Location A, because the lighter oceanic plate will be pushed under the continental plate
Plates Subduct When an ocean plate collides with another ocean plate or with a plate carrying continents, one plate will bend and slide under the other. This process is called subduction. A deep ocean trench forms at this subduction boundary.
plus location B doesn't seem to have 2 plates colliding to cause subduction in the first place.
