What is the type of boundary where two plates move together causing one of the slabs of lithosphere to descend into the mantle beneath an overriding plate?
Subduction
Why does oceanic lithosphere sink beneath convergent lithosphere at convergent boundaries?
As odd as it is to think of things this way, continental lithosphere is more buoyant than oceanic lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is more dense.

Subduction
Which continental margin occur where oceanic lithosphere is being subducted beneath the edge of a continent?
active continential margins
What is another type of boundary where rock layers fold to form mountain ranges?
a boundary where an oceanic plate plunges beneath a continental plate

Convergent BoundaryA destructive plate boundary with a subduction zone.

Subduction
What kind of metamorphism might take place at a divergent boundary?
When a divergent boundary occurs beneath oceanic lithosphere, the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere producing a mid-ocean ridge!!!Hope i helped.
Why does ocenaic crust sink beneath the continental crust at a subduction boundary?
The oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust.
Which continental margin occur where oceanic lithosphere is being subducted beneath the edge of a continent?
active continential margins
