an volcano is formed
At a convergent plate boundary between an oceanic and continental plate, the oceanic plate is usually denser and subducts beneath the continental plate. This can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs on the continental plate, and earthquakes due to the intense pressure and friction. Over time, the oceanic plate can melt and create magma that rises to form volcanic mountain ranges on the continental plate.
When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, the oceanic plate slips under the continental one and into the mantle in a process called subduction. The area will be prone to large earthquakes and tsunamis. A chain of volcanoes will form on the continent.
As the oceanic plate pushes against the continental plate, it forms a subduction zone where it sinks beneath the continental plate due to its greater density. This process can create deep ocean trenches, earthquakes, and volcanic activity as the sinking plate melts and interacts with the mantle.
It is oceanic
This happens at a plate boundary. The oceanic plate subducts (sinks) under the continental plate, because it is heavier. (the oceanic plate is made of basalt and the continental plate is made of granite.) This happens at a destructive plate margin. it is called this because part if the oceanic plate is destroyed, because it melts as it sinks.
Tsunami
In a subduction zone, an oceanic plate moves under another plate (whether continental or oceanic). Sometimes pressure builds up, and earthquakes occur.

the oceanic plate
Yes. Such areas are called subduction zones. They develop where two tectonic plates converge and at least one plate is made of oceanic crust. The denser oceanic plate sinks into the mantle.

tsunamis and earthquakes
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate in a process called subduction. This creates a deep oceanic trench. As the oceanic plate sinks, it heats up, melts, and forms magma that rises to the surface, leading to volcanic activity.
The oceanic plate is made of denser (and thinner) rock than the continental crust, so the oceanic plate gets subducted (pushed underneath) where it descends and gets melted by geothermal heat.

the oceanic crust slides down and burns in the mantle and forms a volcano
The plate with cooler, denser crust sinks under the other plate, forming a trench. There, the oceanic crust sinks down back into the mantle.
