The convergence creates a trench where the more dense of the two plates flows downward toward the mantle. Earthquakes may occur in the area of the plate boundary, as well as volcanism.

A subduction plate involves an oceanic plate being pushed beneath a continental plate or another oceanic plate. The oceanic plate is denser and sinks into the mantle at a convergent boundary, creating a subduction zone. Common examples include the Pacific Plate subducting beneath the North American Plate along the west coast of North America.

The three types of convergent plate boundaries are oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental-continental. Oceanic-oceanic convergence occurs when two oceanic plates collide, resulting in the formation of volcanic island arcs. Oceanic-continental convergence happens when an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate, creating volcanic mountain ranges. Continental-continental convergence involves the collision of two continental plates, leading to the formation of large mountain ranges.
An oceanic-continental convergence typically results in the oceanic plate subducting beneath the continental plate due to its higher density. This can lead to the formation of volcanic mountain ranges on the continental plate, as magma generated by the subducted plate rises to the surface and forms volcanoes. Additionally, intense seismic activity and the potential for tsunamis can also be associated with this type of plate boundary.

The oceanic plate is denser and sinks into the mantle at a convergent boundary, creating a subduction zone. Common examples include the Pacific Plate subducting beneath the North American Plate along the west coast of North America.
In oceanic-continental convergence, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate in a process called subduction. This creates a deep ocean trench and can lead to volcanic activity and the formation of mountain ranges on the continental plate. The collision can also cause earthquakes.
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.
