The oceanic plate goes under the continental plate and into the mantle in a process known as subduction. This results in the formation of mountains and volcanoes on the continental plate.

this depends on the two plates that collide. Ocean plates are much heavier than continental plates. If an ocean and continental plate collide, the ocean plate sinks underneath and creates a trench. If two ocean plates or two continental plate collide, it creates a mountain range/ oceanic ridge depending on the type.

Its when the oceanic crust and the continental crsut colide together.
When an ocean plate collides with a continental plate, a subduction zone occurs and forms a deep trench. An ocean plate is more dense while a continental plate is less dense which causes the ocean plate to go under the continental plate and pull the land and water down, forming a trench.
Yes, it "dives" under the continental crust and back into the mantle.
Subduction occurs when one tectonic plate moves underneath another plate at a convergent boundary. This typically happens at deep ocean trenches where the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the less dense continental plate. Subduction is a key process in the cycle of plate tectonics, leading to the formation of volcanic arcs and earthquakes.
Becouse when the Continental and Ocean crust collide, an updrift occurs and an earthquake is formed. This may also result in Volcano activitey. See-Plate Tectonics
