Yes. An example is the San Andreas Fault, a transform boundary between the Pacific (oceanic) and the North American (continental) plates.

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.
What are three types of convergent boundaries?
Converging (destructive) plate boundary: where two plates collide. Diverging (constructive) plate boundary: where two plates move away from each other. Transform plate boundary: where two plates move, or grind, past each other. Like the boundary in California.
At what kind of boundary does oceanic lithosphere plunge beneath and overriding continental plate?
Convergent oceanic-continental boundary
What type of boundary forms when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate?
a convergent boundary. The oceanic plate is then subducted under the continental plate because it is denser. This subduction creates earthquakes and volcanoes
What does the phrase 'the less buoyant plate is subducted' mean?
This means that the cooler, heavier oceanic plate at an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary is forced into the mantle - under the hotter, lighter oceanic plate. OR At oceanic to continental boundary the heavier oceanic plate is forced into the mantle under the lighter continental plate.
What Type of Plate Boundary Is Creating MT Fuji?
Mt. Fuji is located in Japan. It is near a continental convergent boundary, a continental transform boundary, and an oceanic transform boundary.

Mt. Fuji is located in Japan. It is near a continental convergent boundary, a continental transform boundary, and an oceanic transform boundary.
What type of plate boundaries create mt fuji?
Mt. Fuji is located in Japan. It is near a continental convergent boundary, a continental transform boundary, and an oceanic transform 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 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.
What are the three sub types of convergent plate boundrys?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary forms where two plates slide past one another?
That is called a boundary or a transform-fault boundary. :D
Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.?
oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary has what kind of crustal rocks
What are the sub-types of convergent plates boundrys?

What happens at a convergent plate boundary between an oceanic and continental plate?
The oceanic plate usually subsides after colliding with a continental plate.
