What happens, then, to keep the Earth the same size? The answer is subduction. In locations around the world, ocean crust subducts, or slides under, other pieces of Earth's crust. The boundary ...

The leftover pieces found under the Pacific Ocean surprised scientists as existing models have determined that there shouldn't be any such material in the area due to the lack of plate subduction.
