One plate is forced under the other. This is called subduction.
Mountains and grass
when two oceanic plates collide they create a deep-ocean trench, at deep-ocean trenches subduction occurs.
eigther volcanoes or mountains
volcanoes in an island arc
When two oceanic plates collide, a deep ocean trench is formed due to one plate being pushed under the other in a process known as subduction. This subduction zone can create volcanic activity and earthquakes in the region.
These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.

convergent
When two oceanic plates collide, one may be pushed under the other and cause magma from the mantle to rise, forming a volcanoe or volcanoes. When two continential plates collide at a reverse fault tectonic earthquakes occur.
The active one (the one that goes back to an active oceanic ridge).
Oceanic plates are denser than continental plates due to their composition, so when they collide, the denser oceanic plate is forced to dive (subduct) beneath the less dense continental plate. This process occurs due to the difference in density between the two types of plates, leading to the oceanic plate sinking into the mantle.
