These regions feature areas of extreme activity called Wadati-Benioff zones, and back-arc basins are found above these regions. Accretionary wedges and slab suction and pull forces originate in these areas, often found near forearcs and volcanic arcs. Because basalt is denser than granite, oceanic plates tend to sink in these areas. One of them occurs between the Pacific and Philippine Sea plates, coinciding with the Mariana Trench. Located at convergent boundaries, for 10 points, name these geologic areas where one tectonic plate slides under another.
