Question

Explain what results when oceanic crust collides with the edge of a continent

Answer 1

Subduction

Explanation:

When an oceanic crust collides with the edge of a continent, subduction occurs with a host of physical geological structures.

This kind of margin is called a convergent margin.

• The earth is broken into series of slabs called lithosphere.
• When an oceanic crust collides with the edge of a continent, the oceanic crust will subduct and go under the continental crust into the asthenosphere.
• The continental crust is less dense and buoyant.
• Oceanic crust is denser than the asthenosphere below and it will sink into it.
