The definition of subduction is the process that occurs when two tectonic plates meet at convergent boundaries, and one of the plates moves under the other one due to gravity and differences in density. The boundary area where this occurs is the subduction zone.
the Benioff Zone is the site of plate consumption and is often referred to as a subduction zone. Although less frequent than shallow earthquakes, the deeper earthquakes in Benioff zones range in magnitude up to 8.

So that is the two definitions i am not sure of that helps at all but for me i just remember the definitions and do it that way
