what happens to the oceanic crust at the convergent boundary with subduction
At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates collide with each other. The events that occur at these boundaries are linked to the types of plates â oceanic or continental â that are interacting. Subduction Zones and Volcanoes. At some convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. Oceanic crust tends to be denser and thinner than continental crust, so the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust.
