Labels: intransitive Example: This tectonic plate had been subducting for millions of years by the time the eruption happened. Example: For example, if two trenches remained fixed relative to the local parts of the mesosphere into which they were subducting and if these two parts of the mesosphere were moving relative to each other, then the positions of the two trenches would move in the fixed reference frame.
