Detailed explanation-1: -Crustal recycling is a tectonic process by which surface material from the lithosphere is recycled into the mantle by subduction erosion or delamination.
Detailed explanation-2: -Earth is the only planet known to have plate tectonics, where pieces of crust gradually move, collide, and sink back into the mantle through subduction. This crustal recycling system regulates the balance of carbon and other elements between the surface and subsurface and is a major controller of the global climate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rock recycling within the forearcs of subduction zones involves subduction of sediments and hydrated lithosphere into the upper mantle, exhumation of rocks to the surface, and erosion to form new sediment.
