Which subducts at converging oceanic-oceanic plates?

older, more dense oceanic plate

What happens to the rocks that are formed at the mid-ocean ridge as they move closer and closer to the continents?

The rocks get older as they get closer to the continent.

The rocks iron content increases.

The rocks have a higher basalt content.

What happens at a mid-ocean ridge?

volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, ridge push

Hot magma rises at the mid-ocean ridge, gravity pulls the cooling lava down, it pushes the older crust away

two tectonic plates pull apart and earthquakes happen

hot magma rises at the rift valley, a mountain forms, magma pushes the older crust away
