Answer:

continental convergences subduction zones

Step-by-step explanation:

Geologists call such oceanic-continental convergences subduction zones; the plate that possesses oceanic crust is denser than the continental plate, so it dives, or subducts, deep into Earth's mantle (the layer below the Earth's crust).
