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 when an oceanic plate moves under a continental plate?
Subduction occurs and oceanic trench is formed.
What happens when oceanic and continental 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 an oceanic plate and a continental plate rub together?
tsunamis and earthquakes
What happens when two oceanic plates meet?
the colder,oceanic plate sinks?!?!
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 the oceanic plate moves to the side and the oceanic plate slides past the continental plate?
adwadadada

When the oceanic plate sinks it is absorbed back into the magma.
What happens at a convergent plate boundary between an oceanic and continental plate?
The oceanic plate usually subsides after colliding with a continental plate.

What happens when a plate of oceanic crust collides with a plate of oceanic crust?
The oceanic plate is made of denser (and thinner) rock than the continental crust, so the oceanic plate gets subducted (pushed underneath) where it descends and gets melted by geothermal heat.

What happens at an oceanic- oceanic subduction?
The plate with cooler, denser crust sinks under the other plate, forming a trench. There, the oceanic crust sinks down back into the mantle.
