If the plates are moving toward each other from opposite directions, the more dense oceanic plate will subduct in a conveyor belt like operation under the less dense continental plate. Transform plate boundaries occur where plates of any combination grind alongside each other and result in faults and earthquakes.

∙ 12y agoThe denser plate (which is usually the older and so cooler plate) will subduct under the younger less dense plate.

What happens when two oceanic plates meet?
the colder,oceanic plate sinks?!?!
When two oceanic plates meet witch plate gets subducted and why?
When two oceanic plates meet, which plate gets subducted and why
What happens when two plates carrying oceanic crusts meet at a trench?
Underwater earthquake, and very likely a resulting tsunami.
What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.
When two oceanic plates meet at a convergent boundary which plate pushes below the other plate?
The denser oceanic plates pushes below the lighter one.

What is 2 collision of 2 oceanic plates?
an earth quake happens when two plates meet
Why do oceanic plates and a continental plates meet?
they bang

Where do oceanic and continetal plates meet?
At plate boundaries.

What happens when 2 oceanic plates?
It makes a mountain.
Where does oceanic and continental plates meet?
In a head-on collision, the oceanic plate subducts into the mantle.
When two oceanic plates meet at a convergent boundary which plate pushes below the other plate?
The denser oceanic plates pushes below the lighter one.
What happens in oceanic oceanic convergent boundary?
Either plates gets subducted which is usually the older plate.
Do subduction take place when two oceanic crust meet?
No subduction doesn't take place when two oceanic crust meet. When two oceanic crusts meet, it is called a divergent boundary. Crustal features vary such as one like mid-ocean rdges. Subducting takes place when an OCEANIC and CONTINENTAL plate meet not when two oceanic plates meet.
