The question is asking for the tectonic process that is associated with convection currents in Earth's mantle and occurs when the weight of an elevated ridge pushes an oceanic plate toward a subduction zone. This process is known as plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates' edges can be divergent (moving apart), convergent (coming together), or transform (sliding past one another). The process described in the question is a type of convergent plate boundary where an oceanic plate is pushed towards a subduction zone.
