A subduction zone is formed...

• when an ocean plate sinks below a continental plate creating a trench and usually volcanoes
• when an ocean plate sinks below a continental plate creating a mid-ocean ridge and rift valley 
• when an ocean plate sinks below a continental plate creating a mountain range 
• at transform boundaries
