Underwater earthquake, and very likely a resulting tsunami.
The oceanic plates gets subducted or goes under the continental plate
Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.
When two oceanic crusts collide, the older plate is forced under the younger one and is pulled under it, forming a subduction zone. This leads to the formation of chains of volcanic islands known as island arcs.
the colder,oceanic plate sinks?!?!
Either plates gets subducted which is usually the older plate.

Best Answer:When two plates carrying oceanic crust collide, the resultis that one goes underneath the other - probably causinga tsunami - or an underwater earthquake.

It makes a mountain.
Plate tectonics deals with the movements of earth's plates. The two types of plates are continental plates, which move at 2 cm a year, and ocean/oceanic plates which move at 10 cm a year.

an earth quake happens when two plates meet
Either plates gets subducted which is usually the older plate.
Zombie apocalypse.
When an oceanic to oceanic happens, two oceanic plates converge and one of the plates subducts into a trench. The subducted plate sinks down into the mantle and begins to melt. Molten rock from the plate rises toward the surface and forms a chain of volcanic islands, also called a volcanic island arc, behind the trench in the ocean.
