When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate .?
When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, the oceanic plate slips under the continental one and into the mantle in a process called subduction. The area will be prone to large earthquakes and tsunamis. A chain of volcanoes will form on the continent.
When does a plate carrying continental crust converges with a plate carrying oceanic crust?
The oceanic plates gets subducted or goes under the continental plate
What features are commonly formed at the plate boundaries where continental crust converges with oceanic crust?
trench..............................
Which feature is commonly formed at a plate boundary where oceanic crust converges with continental crust?
2.) an ocean trench
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.

When does a plate carrying continental crust converges with a plate carrying oceanic crust?
The oceanic plates gets subducted or goes under the continental plate
When does a part of oceanic plate sink into the mantle?
Usually when it meets another tectonic plate at a convergent plate boundary. If the oceanic plate converges with a continental plate the denser oceanic plate will be forced under the continental plate. If it converges with another oceanic plate the older (and therefore cooler and denser) plate will be forced under the younger plate.

Where is the oceanic crust sinking into mantle?
Usually when it meets another tectonic plate at a convergent plate boundary. If the oceanic plate converges with a continental plate the denser oceanic plate will be forced under the continental plate. If it converges with another oceanic plate the older (and therefore cooler and denser) plate will be forced under the younger plate.
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 the oceanic plate moves to the side and the oceanic plate slides past the continental plate?

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.
Is the Pacific plate and oceanic plate or continental plate?
It is oceanic
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.
