BUILD YOUR VOCABULARY - Which is the correct definition?
Subduction –
a/ The process by which water rises up through a tube or pipe, sometimes known as a "duct"
b/ In the old days, villages used to run duck racing competitions. Some competitors used to swap - or substitute - the duck they had entered at the last minute with a stronger duck at the last minute. Thus we have the word "subduction" or "replacing the duck". This event has largely died out so it is not a word we hear often.
c/ The process by which one plate on the Earth's surface goes under another causing earthquakes and volcanoes.
