When this takes place the intrusive igneous rock is called a sill.  A good example is the Palisades Sill in New York State near the Hudson's River which is a prominent cliff-former and is intruded into the surrounding sedimentary rock parallel to the layers. It's composition is approximately that of a basalt. Its' age is Triassic, or about 200 million years old.

What is the main material being subducted at an ocean-continent convergent boundary?
nirvana33 [79]

Oceanic lithosphere is the main material being subducted at an ocean-continent convergent boundary.

  • There are two types of lithosphere: oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere.
  • Oceanic lithosphere is associated with oceanic crust, and is slightly denser than continental lithosphere. Plate Tectonics. The most well-known feature associated with Earth's lithosphere is tectonic activity.
  • At an ocean-continent convergent boundary, the denser oceanic plate is pushed under the less dense continental plate in the same manner as at an ocean-ocean boundary. Subduction of the Juan de Fuca Plate under North America created the Cascade Range.
  • Oceanic crust may collide with a continent. The oceanic plate is denser, so it undergoes subduction. This means that the oceanic plate sinks beneath the continent. This occurs at an ocean trench . Subduction zones are where subduction takes place.
