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.
Instead, subduction occurs as the oceanic plate sinks beneath the continental plate. When two plates carrying continental crust collide, subduction does not take place. Neither piece of crust is dense enough to sink very far into the mantle. Instead, the collision squeezes the crust into mighty mountain ranges.
