Subduction is a geological process. When an oceanic plate (which is denser) is forced beneath a continental plate (or another oceanic plate) into the Earth's mantle. This process can lead to the formation of volcanoes (as the sub - ducting plate melts and magma rises) and also causes earthquakes (due to the friction and movement of the plates).
