Young sediment that has undergone this process has a high beryllium-10 to boron ratio due to cosmic rays. During this process, eclogite is formed from basalt. Sutures are used to infer the polarity of instances of this process. This process is responsible for generating the slab-pull force, and it can result in orogenesis. Places where this process is occurring are noted by arrays of earthquakes originating from (*) Wadati-Benioff zones. This process is responsible for generating volcanic arcs when it occurs at an oceanic convergent boundary. This process begins at trenches, which mark areas of descent, and it consumes crust. For 10 points, name this process where one tectonic plate slides underneath another, which occurs in namesake zones.

subduction [prompt on things like "one plate moving under another", but a word form of subduction is needed]
