The thickest plate oceanic or continental?
Continental plate.
Where on the ocean floor is sediment the thickest?
the thickest accumulation of sediment on the ocean floor is at the CONTINENTAL SLOPES AND RISES. :)
Where is the crust deepest?
Deepest doesn't really make sense, so I'm going to answer assuming you meant thickest. Oceanic crust or continental crust? Oceanic crust is thickest at spreading centers and continental crust is deepest at collision zones, the Himalayan/Tibet collision zone to be exact.
Is Japan continental continental oceanic oceanic or continental oceanic?
Oceanic-Oceanic.
What type of crust is most dense?
the thickest part of the crust is the continental crust.
What 3 types of convergent boundaries exist?
Oceanic-Continental, Oceanic-Oceanic, and Continental-Continental.
What boundary is a syncline in?
Syncline folds are found in Convergent boundaries. (Oceanic - Oceanic, Continental-Continental, Oceanic-Continental)
What are the three sub-types of convergent plate boundaries?

Is the Pacific plate and oceanic plate or continental plate?
It is oceanic
Convergence can occur between what types of plates?
1. oceanic-continental 2. oceanic-oceanic 3. continental-continental
Compare and contrast the three plate boundaries?
Oceanic-continental convergence (when an oceanic plate meets a continental plate) & oceanic-oceanic convergence (2 oceanic plates) both involve oceanic plates & subduction. Continental-continental convergence (2 continental plates) involves neither.
Examples of where the three types of plate movements occur?
Continental- continental collisions, Continental-oceanic collisions,and Oceanic-oceanic collisions
