What happens at a convergent boundary when a land and ocean plates meet?

In almost all cases the oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate, creating a trench on the seafloor off the coast and an arch of volcanoes inland on the continent. The lava of these volcanoes has a high water content, making their eruptions very explosive.

What type of plate boundary occurs when two plates move towards each other?
This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.
What are the three types of convergent plate boundries?
The three types of convergent boundaries are when two plates meet and two oceanic plate meet, or where an oceanic and continental plate meet.the three types of convergent boundaries are continent boundaries , continent - ocean boundaries, and last but not least............. ocean boundaries
What are facts about divergent plate boundaries?
They are where mid-ocean ridges occur. Island arcs are common features of convergent boundaries where two ocean plates meet. The boundary where two plates slide past each other, is a transform boundary. The density of the plates, is important at subduction zones, where the denser plate sinks below the less-dense plate, which is also a feature of convergent plates. Tectonic plates are part of the lithosphere, which floats on the asthenosphere.
Which landform would most likely be found at a convergent subduction boundary?
convergent boundary -rift valley divergent boundary -mid-ocean ridge
What type of movement occurs at each plate boundary?
Two plates can either converge, diverge, or transform. A convergent boundary is when two plates come together, a divergent boundary is when they move apart, and a transform boundary is when two plates slide against each other in opposite directions.
What happens at a ocean ocean convergent boundary?
At an ocean ocean convergent boundary, there will be a formation of volcanoes.

What happens at a oceanic oceanic convergence?
At an ocean ocean convergent boundary, there will be a formation of volcanoes.
What are Convergent plate boundary's?
convergent boundaries are easy to find most of them are found in the ocean. One Famous convergent plate boundary would be the Sunda Double Trench. It is found in the Indian ocean and it reaches a depth of 24,440 feet. It is the deepest trench in the Indian Ocean.
What are the three different types of convergent plate boundaries?
ocean-ocean ocean-continent continent-continent

What is similar in convergent plate boundary ocean to ocean and convergent plate boundary continent to continent?
They are the same size
What happens in ocean to ocean convergent boundary?
Either plates gets subducted which is usually the older plate.
Where is the oldest ocean?
At a Convergent Boundary.
What produces ocean ocean convergent boundary?
trench
What is the effect of a convergant boundary?
When convergent plates collide one is pushed beneath the other plate and sinks into the Earth's mantle. This process is known as subduction. Subduction creates trenches in the ocean, which is why trenches and associated with convergent plates.
