Oceanic-Continental Convergence

The first type of convergent boundary is Oceanic-Continetal Convergence. This type of convergent boundary happens where an oceanic plate and a continental plate push together causing the oceanic plate to be forced under the continental  plate into the mantle because the oceanic plate is denser This is called a subduction.  When the oceanic plate is pushed under, it melts and turns into hot magma which burns its way through the continental plate, creating a volcano and causing many earthquakes. This also creates a deep sea trench where the two plates meet.
