[Diagram description: On the left, an oceanic plate moves right toward a continental plate on the right. The oceanic plate bends downward. A trench forms at the bend. Above the subducting plate, in the mantle, magma rises to the surface on the continental side.] (Surface) Ocean | Land (Continental Crust) | /\ | / \ <-- [Label A] | / \ --------|----/------\-------- | / \ [Label B] / (deep) / [Label E] / [Label C] ----------------> [Label D] (arrows show plate direction) Above the subducting plate
