The statement 'Subduction involves an oceanic plate moving beneath a continental plate' is true.
Explanation:
Subduction is said to have occurred when there is a tectonic plate movement in which a thin, less dense oceanic plate advances under a thick, heavy continental plate.
The oceanic plates are usually thin and less dense than the continental plates and thus, do not bear the strength to uplift the continental plate.
That is why when a continental plate and an oceanic plate converge, the oceanic plate moves below the continental plate and subduction occurs.
