When two tectonic plates collide/converge, usually a continental and an oceanic plate, the oceanic plate is submerged by the tectonic one because it is denser. The plate dives into the mantle and is consumed. The boundary, therefore, keeps ‘eating’ up the oceanic  plate hence reduces it over time. An example is the Mariana Trench (a subduction zone) in the Pacific ocean. The Pacific ocean, therefore, continues to shrink over time.

On the other hand, divergent boundaries (such as the one in the Atlantic Ocean) make new crust.

How do ocean currents work
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

These currents are on the ocean's surface and in its depths, flowing both locally and globally. Winds, water density, and tides all drive ocean currents. Coastal and sea floor features influence their location, direction, and speed. Earth's rotation results in the Coriolis effect which also influences ocean currents.
