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.
