Answer:

Subjuction occurs in subduction zones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subduction is a geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates where one plate moves under another and is forced to sink due to gravity into the mantle. This occurs in regions known as subduction zones. The most well-known subductions zones are called "The Ring of Fire" and it's where most of the world's terrible tsunamis and earthquakes occur.
