Answer:
When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, the oceanic crust will always subduct under the continental crust; this is because oceanic crust is naturally denser. Whenever a subduction zone is formed, the subducted plate will end up being partially melted by the earth's internal magma and molten.
