Subduction

The video explains the interaction between tectonic plates, focusing on the collision between continental and oceanic plates. It describes the subduction process where the denser oceanic plate is pushed under the continental plate, leading to deformation and slow descent towards the mantle. This process often results in the formation of deep ocean trenches, such as the Marianas Trench, which is the deepest in the world.
