A subduction zone is defined as the area where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. This is a key concept in plate - tectonics. Landmass and mountain formation can be associated with subduction zones but are not the defining characteristic. Continental plates moving apart is related to divergent boundaries, not subduction zones.
