The Philippine Sea Plate is an oceanic tectonic plate. It is located in the western Pacific Ocean and is surrounded by the Eurasian Plate, Pacific Plate, and Caroline Plate.
Convergent plates are two tectonic plates that are colliding as they move toward each other. There are several types of converging plate boundaries.Oceanic to oceanic plate convergence:Where an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate, the more dense plate subducts into the mantle. The subduction results in the partial melting of lithospheric rock above the area of the subduction, causing underwater volcanoes to form. If the volcanoes grow to reach the surface, volcanic arc islands are formed. Oceanic to continental plate convergence:Where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the oceanic plate is subducted due to the fact that it is more dense, which can also cause volcanism and mountain building. Continental to continental plate convergence:Where two continental plates collide, neither subducts into the mantle, the crust is thickened, and mountain ranges are formed from the thickening and uplift.
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, it results in the formation of coastal mountain ranges, such as the Andes in South America and the Cascades in North America. This collision causes the oceanic plate to subduct beneath the continental plate, leading to the uplift and deformation of the continental crust, forming high mountain ranges.
A continent is what floats on top of the plate. There are continental and oceanic plates. The continents float on the continental plate and the ocean sits on the oceanic plate. But there are also plates that carry both continents and oceans. The plates are what causes continental drift. So basically plates are what carry the continents and oceans.
The Andes Mountains :) ***** I would like to add the Himalayas, which rose when the Indian Plate collided with the European plate.
Haiti is located on the northern edge of the Caribbean plate which is an oceanic plate. Please see the related question for more information.

When an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, the oceanic plate is always subducted. Oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, and they have a higher iron content. Since they are denser, oceanic plates always sink below the continental plate in the event of a collision.
It is oceanic
The oceanic plate is denser than the continental plate due to its composition of heavier mafic rock. This density difference causes the oceanic plate to sink below the continental plate in a process known as subduction.
Continental plate.
The three types of convergent boundaries are oceanic-oceanic plate boundary (e.g. Japan Trench), oceanic-continental plate boundary (e.g. Andes Mountains), and continental-continental plate boundary (e.g. Himalayas).
In an oceanic-oceanic subduction boundary, one oceanic plate subducts beneath another oceanic plate. This process can result in volcanic island arcs being formed. In an oceanic-continental subduction boundary, an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate. This can lead to the formation of volcanic mountain ranges on the continental plate.
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
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.
The Arabian Plate is considered a continental plate. It mainly consists of continental crust and is part of the larger African Plate.
Oceanic-Oceanic, Oceanic-Continental, and Continental-Continental are all sub types of convergent plate boundaries.
