which type of material becomes molten rock at subduction zones?\nlight plates\nheavy plates\ncontinental…

Answer:

heavy plates

Brief Explanations:

At subduction zones, denser (heavy) tectonic plates sink into the mantle. The high - pressure and high - temperature conditions cause the heavy plates to melt and form molten rock. Light plates do not subduct easily. Continental crust is less dense and usually does not subduct to form molten rock in this way. New oceanic crust is formed at mid - ocean ridges, not by melting at subduction zones.
