As oceanic crust is thinner, it sinks under the continental crust and forms a subduction zone. This can also form a line of volcanoes.
a deep sea trench and an island arc form.
The subduction zone formed when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge is called an oceanic-continental subduction zone. In this setting, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of volcanic arcs and deep oceanic trenches.

when oceanic crust and continental crust collide, the oceanic crust sinks down beneath the continental crust. this is called subduction.
At a convergent plate boundary between an oceanic and continental plate, the oceanic plate is usually denser and subducts beneath the continental plate. This can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs on the continental plate, and earthquakes due to the intense pressure and friction. Over time, the oceanic plate can melt and create magma that rises to form volcanic mountain ranges on the continental plate.
tsunamis and earthquakes
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate in a process called subduction. This creates a deep oceanic trench. As the oceanic plate sinks, it heats up, melts, and forms magma that rises to the surface, leading to volcanic activity.
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.
In the context of plate tectonics, the oceanic-continental boundary refers to the interaction between an oceanic plate and a continental plate. When these two plates converge, the denser oceanic plate typically subducts, or sinks, beneath the lighter continental plate. This process often leads to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity along the continental edge. An example of this boundary is the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate, resulting in the Andes mountain range.
When an oceanic plate moves under a continental plate, a subduction zone is formed. The oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle, where it melts and creates magma. This magma can then rise to the surface, causing volcanic activity on the continental plate.

the oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, therefore, when oceanic plates and continental plates converge, the oceanic will go under the continental plates. But when two oceanic converge either both will rise to form moutains, or both will sink and cause a trench.
I believe that this question has to do with earth science. When two continental plates come together, a convergent plate boundary, mountains form. If an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge, or come together, a subduction zone is form and the oceanic plate subducts under the continental usually because the oceanic plate is less dense. Hope I kind of answered the question..?
