Beneath vs. Subduction — What's the Difference?

In a lower place; below.

Subduction is a geological process in which the oceanic lithosphere is recycled into the Earth's mantle at convergent boundaries. Where the oceanic lithosphere of a tectonic plate converges with the less dense lithosphere of a second plate, the heavier plate dives beneath the second plate and sinks into the mantle.

Underneath.

A geologic process in which one edge of one crustal plate is forced below the edge of another.

Lower than; below

The action of being pushed or drawn beneath another object.

To or into a lower position than

(geology) The process of one tectonic plate moving beneath another and sinking into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary.

Covered or concealed by

The act of subducting or taking away.

Under the force, control, or influence of.

Arithmetical subtraction.

Lower than, as in rank or station.

A surjection between diffeological spaces such that the target is identified as the pushforward of the source.

Unworthy of; unbefitting

The act of subducting or taking away.

Below or underneath.

Arithmetical subtraction.

Below.

A geological process in which one edge of a crustal plate is forced sideways and downward into the mantle below another plate

In a position that is lower in rank, dignity, etc.

Covered up or concealed by something.

Lower in place, with something directly over or on; under; underneath; hence, at the foot of.

Under, in relation to something that is superior, or that oppresses or burdens.

Lower in rank, dignity, or excellence than; as, brutes are beneath man; man is beneath angels in the scale of beings. Hence: Unworthy of; unbecoming.

In a lower place; underneath.

Below, as opposed to heaven, or to any superior region or position; as, in earth beneath.
