It makes a mountain.
i love mccdonalds<<?!
The more dense plate subducts (goes under) the less dense plate. For example if continental and oceanic crust collide oceanic crust will go underneath the continental.
They are two different types of crust. Continental crust is heavier than Oceanic crust, so when the two collide, the Continental crust 'subducts' under the Oceanic Crust. 'Crust' referring to the tectonic plates, the surface of the Earth we stand on.
Overall their materials are of the same age, but the continental plates simply break or collide whereas the ocean-floor plates are in constant cycles of construction and destruction.
i have no idea i think continental
It depends on the type of crust involved. If both plates carry oceanic crust, an ocean trench is formed along with a volcanic island are on the overriding plate. If one plate carries oceanic crust and the other continental, you will get an ocean trench, a continental volcanic arc, and a mountain range. If both plates carry continental crust, then a mountain range is formed.
When the continental plates collide the oceainc cust gets stuck and eventually evaporates
Best Answer:When two plates carrying oceanic crust collide, the resultis that one goes underneath the other - probably causinga tsunami - or an underwater earthquake.
When two plates collide, or come together, the plates will push upward, forming a mountain. If one plate is continental crust and the other is oceanic crust, the less dense crust (this being the oceanic) will actually move under the more dense crust, in a process called subduction, to form a deep-ocean trench.

Continental crust is thicker and less dense while oceanic crust is thinner and more dense, so essentially continental crust takes a higher position than oceanic crust. When oceanic and continental plates collide, oceanic plates slide underneath continental plates(if this makes what I said any clearer).
the older crust is subducted and later pushed up to form oceanic arcs
The more dense plate subducts (goes under) the less dense plate. For example if continental and oceanic crust collide oceanic crust will go underneath the continental.
When two oceanic plates or two plates both containing oceanic crust collide or converge, the convergent boundary will form a trench. The plate which has the higher density will plunge beneath the other plate forming a trench.

When it is two continental plates, new oceanic crust is formed, and when this continues, more oceanic crust is formed between the plates.
oceanic crust and continental crust collide, with the continental crust subducting under the oceanic
