... Oceanic crust is denser, it is subducted (pushed down into the Earth). The region where this occurs is known as a Subduction Zone. The subducted plate melts due to: heat from the asthenosphere friction from the plates grinding over one another An oceanic plate converges on a continental plate an ...
