When an oceanic to oceanic happens, two oceanic plates converge and one of the plates subducts into a trench. The subducted plate sinks down into the mantle and begins to melt. Molten rock from the plate rises toward the surface and forms a chain of volcanic islands, also called a volcanic island arc, behind the trench in the ocean.

What happens when two oceanic plates meet?
the colder,oceanic plate sinks?!?!
What happens when an oceanic plate moves under a continental plate?
Subduction occurs and oceanic trench is formed.
What happens in oceanic oceanic convergent boundary?
Either plates gets subducted which is usually the older plate.
What happens when oceanic crust sinks?
It turns into magma
What happens when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate and sinks?
When the oceanic plate sinks it is absorbed back into the magma.
What happens at a oceanic oceanic convergence?
At an ocean ocean convergent boundary, there will be a formation of volcanoes.

What happens to an oceanic plate as it pushes against a continental plate and sinks?
The oceanic plate sinks into the mantle where it melts. This is replaced by new oceanic plate at the mid-oceanic ridge.
What happens when oceanic and oceanic crust meets?
Subduction. denser oceanic plate moves under the continental plate. The oceanic plate is submerged into the mantle causing magma to rise to the surface.
What happens when the oceanic plate moves to the side and the oceanic plate slides past the continental plate?

Either plates gets subducted which is usually the older plate.
What happens when 2 oceanic plates?
It makes a mountain.
What happens when oceanic crust sinks?
It turns into magma
What happens when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate and sinks?
When the oceanic plate sinks it is absorbed back into the magma.
What happens to two oceanic crust when they collide?
the older crust is subducted and later pushed up to form oceanic arcs
What happens when the oceanic crust is increasing along mid-oceanic ridges?
when the crust increase the sea leavels beacem higher
