Which statement describes the process of subduction?

Question

Convection currents cause two plates to move away from each other.
A plate slides beneath another plate due to convection currents and gravity.
Materials are heated and transferred within Earth’s interior by density.
Heat cycles in the mantle cause plates to constantly move.

Answer 1

The statement that describes the process of subduction is:

"A plate slides beneath another plate due to convection currents and gravity."

Subduction occurs when one tectonic plate moves under another and sinks into the mantle, and this process is influenced by convection currents and gravitational forces.
