an volcano is formed

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 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 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 an oceanic plate converged 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.
What happens between oceanic and continental plates at convergent boundaries?
Convergent boundary+oceanic plate=subduction because the oceanic plate is more dense causing it to subduct down back to the mantle.
What happens when an oceanic plate digs into earths interior?
Tsunami
What happens to the earths crust at a subbduction zone?
In a subduction zone, an oceanic plate moves under another plate (whether continental or oceanic). Sometimes pressure builds up, and earthquakes occur.

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.
What happens at a convergent plate boundary between an oceanic and continental plate?
The oceanic plate usually subsides after colliding with a continental plate.
Is there any place on earth where materiel from the surface moves into earths interior and some of it melts?
Yes. Such areas are called subduction zones. They develop where two tectonic plates converge and at least one plate is made of oceanic crust. The denser oceanic plate sinks into the mantle.
Where can you find minerals other than earths crust?
the oceanic plate
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 an oceanic plate moves under a continental plate?
Subduction occurs and oceanic trench is formed.
What are happening to the earths plates in Japan Trench?
The pacific oceanic plate is sinking beneath conential plate
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.
