because the ocean base is hevier than the other crust
oceanic crust and continental crust collide, with the continental crust subducting under the oceanic
The continental crust is the land. The oceanic is under the ocean.
The more dense plate subducts (goes under) the less dense plate. For example if continental and oceanic crust collide oceanic crust will go underneath the continental.
Thickness - continental = much thickerDensity - oceanic crust is denser than continental, which is why the oceanic crust subducts under the continental at destructive plates boundaries.
A basic mountain should be formed from the collision of continental crust and oceanic crustAnswerWhen an oceanic and a continental crust collide, the heavier oceanic crust tends to subduct under the lighter continental crust. Because of the collision and corresponding compression and also because of volcanism related to dehydration and melting of the subducted plate a mountain range is formed. The Andes mountain range is a, if not the, most typical example.

is means under the oceanic crust the tectonicplate collide
The continental crust is the land. The oceanic is under the ocean.
They are two different types of crust. Continental crust is heavier than Oceanic crust, so when the two collide, the Continental crust 'subducts' under the Oceanic Crust. 'Crust' referring to the tectonic plates, the surface of the Earth we stand on.
The more dense plate subducts (goes under) the less dense plate. For example if continental and oceanic crust collide oceanic crust will go underneath the continental.

Oceanic crust sinking under a plate with continental crust
Because the oceanic crust is under water in the ocean and a continental crust is land such as the continents
Because the oceanic crust is under water in the ocean and a continental crust is land such as the continents
the lithosphere is thinner under the oceanic crust
