Question

What happens when a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate?

Answer 1

The continental plate is less dense that the oceanic plate and so sinks underneath the oceanic plate. The oceanic plate holds water and so when the continental plate sinks underneath it, the water from the oceanic plate covers the continental plate.

Answer 2

Answer:

The oceanic plate sinks below the continental plate.
