The denser plate

Explanation:

When two plates forms a subduction zone, the denser plate will subduct and dive into the underlying mantle below.

Subduction zone occurs along a convergent margin when two plates of different densities collides.

  • When two plates of different densities collides, the denser plates subduct.
  • This is because the density of the mantle below is less than its own density.

  • Oceanic plates are denser compared to continental plates.
