When there is a collision between a continental and oceanic plate, the oceanic plate plunges downwards into the asthenosphere while the continental plates rises upwards/thrusted above, this is due to the fact that the oceanic crust is denser so it sinks, while the lighter and more bouyant continental crust is displaced upwards. This process is referred to as "Subduction". The area where it takes place is called the "Subduction Zone". This phenomenon results into Geological Activities, Processes, Formations and Features/Landforms such as Trenches, Volcanism (Volcanoes/Volcanic Eruption), Island Arcs, Metamorphism, and Mineralization.

When was Maggie Dence born?
Maggie Dence was born on February 1, 1942.
What layer of crust is thin and dence?
The layer of crust that is thin and dense is the oceanic crust. It primarily consists of basaltic rocks and is generally about 5 to 10 kilometers thick. In contrast to the thicker and less dense continental crust, oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges and is continuously recycled into the mantle at subduction zones. This density contributes to the oceanic crust sitting lower on the mantle compared to the continental crust.

Are foam cups less dence then water?
Yes, they are.
What is dencer crust sinking beneath less dence crust after collision is called?
The process of denser crust sinking beneath less dense crust after a collision is called "subduction." This typically occurs at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges. Subduction plays a crucial role in the recycling of the Earth's crust and the dynamics of plate tectonics.
What is the most dence material?
The heaviest per unit volume.
