An ocean to continent boundary typically results in the formation of subduction zones, where an oceanic plate is forced beneath a continental plate. This process can lead to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the creation of mountain ranges. Additionally, it contributes to the recycling of the Earth's crust and affects oceanic and atmospheric circulation patterns. Overall, these boundaries play a crucial role in shaping the Earth's geology and ecosystems.

An ocean to continent boundary is where the oceanic crust meets the continental crust. This typically occurs at a continental shelf, which is the gently sloping transition between the continent and the ocean floor. This boundary is marked by significant differences in physical and geological characteristics between the two crust types.
Convergent boundaries , where two plates are moving toward each other, are of three types, depending on the type of crust present on either side of the boundary — oceanic or continental . The types are ocean-ocean, ocean-continent, and continent-continent.
A convergent plate boundary creates a deep ocean trench along the edge of a continent. In this boundary type, an oceanic plate is forced beneath a continental plate, leading to the formation of the trench due to subduction.
oceanic crust
A sharp drop from a continent to an ocean basin is called a continental slope. This feature marks the boundary between the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor.
