The type of boundary that forms when the crust of one plate is pushed down under another plate and turned into molten rock is referred to as a convergent boundary. Convergent boundaries form when oceanic crust slides beneath continental crust.

Convergent
near ocean trenches.
anything that you can imagine a boundary being around
rocks being pushed together
At a convergent boundary. if seafloor is created at a divergent boundary then it must be the opposite (at a convergent boundary) where is being destroyed.
Between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate, there is a convergent (AKA Collision) boundary taking place in most areas. The pressure is so great from both plates pushing together equally, that no subduction takes place; (which also means hardly any volcanoes) only upward folding. The upward folding is what has caused the massive mountain range known around the world as the Himalayas.

a subduction boundry, this is where one plate gets pushed under the other. in this case the pacific plate is being pushed under the eurasion!
subduction boundary!!!
Shoved or pushed are alternative words for being physically pushed.

Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
At a convergent boundary. if seafloor is created at a divergent boundary then it must be the opposite (at a convergent boundary) where is being destroyed.
The action is the bullet being pushed out of the barrel. The equal and opposite reaction is the gun being pushed back.

Oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges and (through the creation of new oceanic crust) is pushed toward a convergent plate boundary where it is subducted. So the oldest oceanic crust would be located at a convergent plate boundary where the oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust.
New crust is being added to the other edge of the boundary
