Answer:

A number of outcomes take place with oceanic-continental convergence. Because of the continental accretion process, some of the material from the oceanic crust gets scraped off and is added to the continental crust. In addition, the oceanic crust bends while subducting, forming a trench at the subduction zone. The movement of the two plates also releases pressure, which can cause violent earthquakes.
