The results of mathematical modeling convection of lithospheric plate in a subduction zone are given. Driven lithospheric plate collides with a continental plate and is immersed in mantle. The gravitational acceleration changed under the linear law. As a result of the numerical decision of a task the fields of temperature, velocity, stream function, vortex and local Nusselt number at the upper and lower border of calculating area were received.
