Plate Tectonics Subduction. forty million years ago, a large tectonic plate, known as the farallon plate, was between the pacific and north american plates. subduction, latin for carried under, is a term used for a specific type of plate interaction. It happens when one lithospheric plate meets another—that is, in convergent zones —and the denser plate sinks down into the mantle. the picture emerging from the casie21 structural imaging is of variable bending and fracturing of the incoming jdf plate system in response to the regional tectonic stresses driving subduction, modulated by the heterogeneous terrane structure of the upper plate. the earth’s many tectonic plates can be thousands of miles across and underlie both continents and oceans. subduction zone, oceanic trench area marginal to a continent in which, according to the theory of plate tectonics, older and denser seafloor. earth’s rocky outer layer is continuously being recycled into the mantle via subduction, where one tectonic plate.
