Subduction occurs when an oceanic plate slides under a continental plate. When the oceanic plate does this, it descends into the mantle, and the place where the subduction begins forms a deep-ocean trench.
It is were to plates are coming together then the one plat just goes underneath the other plate. This happens at a convergent plat boundary.
Subduction is a process that takes place at convergent boundaries.
Subduction is part of the geological process of plate tectonics. A subduction zone is a place where the oceanic plate is sinking back in to the mantle (usually at the edge of a continental plate.

Subduction! :)
It is known as subduction.
Subduction of the ocean floor takes place at trenches.

Subduction is a process that takes place at convergent boundaries.
No subduction doesn't take place when two oceanic crust meet. When two oceanic crusts meet, it is called a divergent boundary. Crustal features vary such as one like mid-ocean rdges. Subducting takes place when an OCEANIC and CONTINENTAL plate meet not when two oceanic plates meet.

Subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate.
That would be Subduction.
This is known as a subduction zone.
