Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In subduction zones, oceanic crust is being forced under continental or other oceanic crust. As it is forced deeper into the Earth, it heats up and begins to release fluids, causing the mantle to melt through flux melting. This creates magma that can rise up and form volcanoes on the overriding plate.
