Hope it helped

Oceanic crust subducts under continental crust because it is denser. Continental crust's density is too low for it to be forced into the mantle.

It is called subduction and only occurs in oceanic to oceanic or oceanic to continental plate collisions.
Subduction occurs on continental boundaries because oceanic sub floor is denser and heavier than the lighter more buoyant crust. The oceanic crust slides under the continental crust areas usually on a plate boundary. This is in a recycle style mode that constantly is remaking the ocean floor. The oldest rocks on the ocean bottom are a drop in the geologic time bucket, compared to the rock ages on land.
Oceanic crust is more dense than continental crust.

In a subduction zone the crust is forced inot the mantle where it is eventually melted and destroyed

The Earth some times oceanic crust is formed by the process of mid oceanic ridges. this process occurs when magma comes from the mantle and cool below oceanic body & form new crust.

The lithosphere is composed of crust and hard upper mantle. The oceanic lithosphere would be hard upper mantle and basaltic oceanic crust.

Oceanic crust gets subducted into the mantle.
