What is the definition of oceanic continental subduction?

Occurs when ocean crust sinks under continental crust, it sinks because it's colder and denser,at these sites, deep-ocean trenches also form along with coastal mountains. As the oceanic crust moves, these trenches often causes underwater earthquake, as the crust sinks under a continent, the crust buckles to form a range of mountains, like island arcs, parallel to a deep-ocean trench. Some of the mountains are volcanoes, which form as melted oceaninc crust rises through the top plate. For example: Cascade Mountains in Oregon and Washington.


How do volcano's form when oceanic and continental plates collide?

Mountains form where continental and oceanic plates collide by the actions of the plates upon one another. Often one plate pushes up and over the other one, and the upper one creates a row of mountains.

How do volcanos form at a plate boundary?

When tectonic plates converge together at the bottom of the ocean the oceanic plate goes under the continental plate because the oceanic plate weighs more and then the oceanic plate pushes up the continental plate which forms mountains and sometimes the tectonic plates let magma through which goes up through the continental plate and then opens a hole at the top of the mountains called a vent which is where the steam, volcanic ash, debris and lava come out of.
