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 denseroceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust. This forms what is called a subduction zone
