Wednesday 6/1/11 Convergent Boundaries—Oceanic Oceanic Date 6/1 Activity Convergent Boundaries— Oceanic Oceanic Page Learn that older, denser oceanic plate will subduct under younger, less dense oceanic plate. Learn that earthquake, volcanoes, volcanic islands and the deepest ocean trenches occur in an oceanic-oceanic subduction zone. Notes: Convergent Oceanic-Oceanic Boundaries Denser oceanic plate is forced under younger and less dense oceanic plate. Subducting plate begins to melt at about 100 miles into mantle Melted plate is less dense so it expands towards the surface creating underwater volcanoes and islands.
