If the plates are moving at each other from directly opposite directions, the denser oceanic crust will subduct, or slide under the less dense continental crust, eventually melting back into the mantle. The hot gasses and pressure created by the melting process will seek release in the form of a volcano! :D
Oceanic subducts because it is more dense; Volcanoes form on Continental Crust.
No lithosphere is formed or destroyed
it causes a volcano
When continental crust collides with the same crust it creates an earthquake, or sometime it can cause a volcano to explode. Including oceanic crust.
When the oceanic plate sinks it is absorbed back into the magma.
Stop tryin todo your homework on this!!
an earthquake happens
There needs to be a lot of pressure in the magma
The contiental cdrust is forced under the continental crust in a process called subduction.

When the Indian plate collided with the harder Asian plate, the Indian plate went underneath, eventually causing an up-thrust that raised the Himalayas.

it subducts underneath the crustal plate

The oceanic crust will slide under the continental crust. And the reason is because the oceanic crust is much denser and the continental crust is least dense.
