When Oceanic meets Continental, it doesn't work out so well for the ocean. See, it subducts under the larger and denser continent, then melting down into the molten magma that can be found under our crust. This reaction forms volcanoes, and mountains, too. Crazy how one thing starts a whole chain of other stuff, huh?

What are the three different types of convergent plate boundaries?

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.
