The two main types of lithospheric plates are oceanic plates and continental plates. what happens along a convergent boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate?

The oceanic plate is forced under the continental plate.

Explanation:

On a convergent plate boundary, an oceanic plate moves towards a continental. The oceanic plate is more dense and heavier than the continental plate. When they both collide the oceanic plate moves under the continental plate. This is known as subduction. The continental plate gets compressed and mountains get pushed up. As the oceanic plate is moving down into the mantle, it begins to melt and send magma towards the surface. The magma pushes through and can cause volcanoes to form on the continental plate.
