What causes the subduction zone when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate? continental plates are more dense than oceanic plates so the continental plate dives under the oceanic plate oceanic plates are more dense than continental plates so the oceanic plate dives under the continental plate continental plates are more dense than oceanic plates causing the oceanic plate to push upward when the continental plates collide the force is so great that it causes the surrounding crust to collapse

Why do convergent oceanic plates subduct, but continental plates do not usually respond in this way? a.oceanic plates and continental plates are about the same density, so they mix with each other at boundaries. b. oceanic plates are made of dense rock; therefore they sink into the asthenosphere more readily. continental plates are made of lighter, more buoyant rock.c.oceanic plates are made of less dense rock; therefore they rise into the asthenosphere more readily. continental plates are made of denser rock.d. oceanic plates are made of very dense rock; therefore they rise into asthenosphere more readily. continental plates are made of dense rock so they rise too.
