wiki.answers.com: "You could find subduction zones in the depths of the oceans, at some plate boundaries. At this location, you would observe one tectonic plate (a plate of lower density then the other) being slipped under another plate into magma. These are also known as destructive boundaries, because crust is being destroyed, (as opposed to diverent boundaries where leaking magma creates new crust.)"
