Harry Hess proposed that when two oceanic plates met each other, the denser plate would sink under the less dense plate. This is now known as this term. Question 1 options: a. Production b. Subduction c. Reduction d. Induction

b

Explanation:

Subduction is when one plate slides under the other

B. Subduction

Explanation:

Two oceanic plate met each other to form a boundary called as convergent plate boundary. When two oceanic plates collides with each other, it makes one plate to be subducted over the other. If two plates are of same density, the massive or the larger one among them will be subducted beneath the smaller plate. High velocity moving plate will be subducted below the lower velocity moving plate. Subduction zone is otherwise known as Benioff zone.
