Why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at a subduction boundary?

• The oceanic crust is hotter

What will happen to the leading edge of the subducted denser plate?

• It will later reach the mantle, causing it to melt and turn into magma

• Volcanic arc will form

• It will generate a tsunami
