Off the westcoast of North America
You would most likely find a boundary between a continental and an oceanic plate at a convergent plate boundary, where the two types of plates collide. In this setting, the denser oceanic plate is typically subducted beneath the lighter continental plate, leading to geological features such as deep ocean trenches and volcanic mountain ranges. This interaction can also result in significant seismic activity.
Oceanic lithosphere sinks beneath continental lithosphere at convergent boundaries primarily due to its higher density compared to continental lithosphere. As oceanic plates are denser and thinner, they are more susceptible to subduction when they collide with less dense, thicker continental plates. This process leads to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs, as the subducting oceanic plate melts and interacts with the overlying continental crust. Additionally, the cooler and older oceanic lithosphere is more likely to subduct than the younger, hotter continental lithosphere.
The oceanic plate would subduct beneath the continental plate. This is because oceanic plates are denser than continental plates due to their composition, so they are more likely to be forced beneath the less dense continental plate.
Where an oceanic plate dives under a continental plate (e.g. just offshore the Washington/Oregon coast, creating a line of explosive volcanos just inland).
sorry I have NO idea!;)

When two continental plates collide or a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate.
Answer this question… Subduction of oceanic crust beneath continental crust

Convergent Boundary meaning COLLISION! Oceanic-Oceanic which formed volcanic islands!
