Answer:

Oceanic plates are made of basalt rock, so they are denser. So, what do you think will happen when an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide? The oceanic plate is denser and sinks due to its lower buoyancy. It is sucked into the asthenosphere and is melted deeper into the Earth, called a subduction zone.
