When a dense oceanic plate meets a less dense continental plate at a convergent boundary, the denser plate is forced down into the earth's hot mantle. The same process can occur when two oceanic plates converge. The denser one will plunge down into the earth where it will be destroyed by melting. What is this process called?

• subduction

• divergence

• faulting

• uplift
