Why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at the subduction zone?

• The oceanic crust has a greater density.

• The oceanic crust is pushed from the ridge.

• The continental crust has a denser composition.

• The oceanic crust is pulled downward by Earth’s magnetic field.

                      

When a convergent boundary occurs between two oceanic plates, what will happen to one of those plates?

• Plate will move away to other plate.   

• Plate will subduct toward to the other plate.

• Plate will move toward to other plate.

• Plate will subduct beneath to the other plate.
