a.) Oceanic crust moving under continental crust.
Subduction refers to the process where one tectonic plate (typically oceanic crust) moves under another plate (usually continental crust) and sinks into the mantle. This process often leads to geological phenomena such as volcanic activity and the formation of mountain ranges.
