18 subduction is when one plate goes under another plate. what causes this plate to go under the other? a it is less dense than the top plate b it is more dense than the top plate c the plates are part of the ring of fire d volcanoes forced the magma to go underneath
Answer
Brief Explanation:
Subduction occurs because the sub - ducting plate is denser than the overriding plate. Denser plates sink beneath less dense ones due to gravity. The Ring of Fire is an area where subduction is common but not the cause of subduction itself. Magma movement is a result of subduction, not the cause of a plate going under another.
Answer:
B. it is more dense than the top plate
