At this type of convergent boundary the oceanic plate will be subducted, or sink into the mantle underneath the continental plate. Volcanoes often form near these boundaries.
When an oceanic and continental plate collide it is known as creating a convergent boundary. When a convergent boundary occurs large mountain ranges are formed.
this is because the oceanic plate is much denser than the continental plate so when they collide the oceanic plate will sink easily
Oceanic plates move under continental plates when they converge together because the oceanic plate is more denser than the continental plate.

Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.
The oceanic plate subduct under the continental because oceanic is made from basalt(rock) which is denser than andesite and granite(continental)
When the continental plates collide the oceainc cust gets stuck and eventually evaporates
this is because the oceanic plate is much denser than the continental plate so when they collide the oceanic plate will sink easily
When two continental plates collide they form mountains .
Oceanic plates move under continental plates when they converge together because the oceanic plate is more denser than the continental plate.

These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.

When an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, the oceanic plate is always subducted. Oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, and they have a higher iron content. Since they are denser, oceanic plates always sink below the continental plate in the event of a collision.
