At what kind of boundary does oceanic lithosphere plunge beneath and overriding continental plate?
Convergent oceanic-continental boundary
Is oceanic lithosphere destroyed at a transform fault boundary?
No, it is destroyed at convergent boundaries.
What results when divergence occurs in the oceanic lithosphere?
A Mid-Ocean-Ridge develops leading to volcanism and the creation of new oceanic crust.
What is the process called when the oceanic plates slide down the slope of lithosphere-asthenospher boundary?
Ridge Push.
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.

Oceanic lithosphere is destroyed at-?
Oceanic lithosphere is destroyed when it is subducted at a convergent plate boundary and forced into the mantle where it melts. You shouldn't use the internet to look up answers on a test. You should use your notes and textbook! DW Thanks for the answer but um, What about people in online school, where the only "textbook" you get is an agenda? yeah the awnser for Gradpoint is Convergent Boundary
What two bodies of continental lithosphere are pulled together at a convergent boundary?
i dont know for sure, but i would guess that it creates a subduction zone with the continental lithosphere on top and the oceanic lithosphere subsiding.
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.
What happens at mid ocen ridges?
Creation of new ocean floor/oceanic lithosphere, at the boundary of diverging tectonic plate.

When oceanic lithosphere subducts beneath oceanic lithosphere?
An island arc forms.
