Ocean to Continent Convergent Boundary

Fill in the Blanks using the words below: At an ocean-continent convergent boundary, the denser oceanic plate is pushed under the less dense continental plate. The oceanic plate usually is forced down into the mantle. The less dense continental plate remains on Earth’s surface.The area where one plate slides under another is called a subduction zone.A curved line of volcanoes forms parallel to a plate boundary. This is known as a volcanic arc.Examples of landforms formed due to ocean to continent convergent boundary are Mount Rainier in Washington and Mount Shasta in California. Both the mountains are part of the Cascade mountain range.
