Employee Assistance Programs | EAPS 100 Exam 1 The point where oceanic crust begins sinking in subduction zones is marked by what type of topographic feature? A deep canyon known as a 'trench' What is the key process that causes the ocean crust to be pulled into the Earth's mantle? Metamorphism transforms the basalt that forms ocean crust into a rock that is more dense than the Earth's upper mantle. This transition pulls oceanic crust downward as it sinks. We now think that plate tectonics...
