When an ocean plate converges with another plate, the most common occurrence is 2. Some kind of subduction zone. In these scenarios, the denser oceanic plate typically subducts beneath the less dense continental plate or another oceanic plate, leading to the formation of trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquake activity associated with the subduction process. While mountain building and new land creation can occur as a result of subduction, the defining feature of this interaction is the subduction zone itself.
