Which kind of plate movement is shown in this figure a uplift b subduction c divergent d lateral slipping class=

Respuesta :

It is called subduction because it is going downwards and sideways.

The answer is; B

The picture depicts two tectonic plates colliding with one submerging under the other. In most cases, the oceanic plates are subducted under the tectonic plate. This forms a destructive tectonic boundary. An example of this boundary  is between the Nazca plate and South American plate and between Pacific Plate and Eurasian Plate.
