removal of material from the base or front of the overriding plate and its transport down a subduction zone, causing net crustal loss at convergent margins.

In tectonics, subduction erosion refers to removal of material from the base or front of the overriding plate and its transport down a subduction zone, causing net crustal loss at convergent margins. This meaning comes from von Huene (1991) in Reviews of Geophysics.[1]
