At a convergent plate boundary between a continental and an oceanic plate which plate will be subdued down into the mantle?

The oceanic plate will be subdued down into the mantle because it is denser. Or has more density*smiles*

What 3 collisions occur at a convergent boundary?
Oceanic-continental convergent boundary, Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary, and Continental-continental convergent boundary.
What are the types of convergent boundary?
There are 3 types of Convergent boundaries, they are; 1. Continental-continental convergent boundary. 2. Continental-oceanic convergent boundary. 3. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary.
What are the three types of convergent plate boundries?
The three types of convergent boundaries are when two plates meet and two oceanic plate meet, or where an oceanic and continental plate meet.the three types of convergent boundaries are continent boundaries , continent - ocean boundaries, and last but not least............. ocean boundaries
What are the types of convergence?
There are 3 types of Convergent boundaries, they are; 1. Continental-continental convergent boundary. 2. Continental-oceanic convergent boundary. 3. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary.
What are the sub-types of convergent plates boundrys?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
What are the 3 subtypes of convergent plate boundaries?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.

Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.?
oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary has what kind of crustal rocks
What is a specific example of what forms as a result of a shift in a convergent boundary?
at an oceanic to continental convergent boundary trenches and volcanic mountains can form. at an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary trenches and volcanic islands can form. at a continental to continental convergent boundary fold mountains can form
What is the difference between a convergent boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate and a convergent boundary between two continental plates?
A convergent boundary between two continental plates causes both plates to crumple to form fold mountains e.g. the HimalayasA convergent boundary between a continental and an oceanic causes one to rise above the other. Granite is less dense than basalt, so the continental plate rises above the oceanic plate. This also forms mountains, like the Andes.
What type of plate boundaries is shown in the diagram?
convergent oceanic-continental boundary
At what kind of boundary does oceanic lithosphere plunge beneath and overriding continental plate?
Convergent oceanic-continental boundary
