[|Graphic of Convergent] __Oceanic Continental Convergent Boundary definition__ : Two converging plates in which an oceanic plate subducts a continental plate and creates a mountain range along the coast of the continent because of magma being forced up. A trench is formed where the oceanic plate is subducted. __Examples of Oceanic Continental Convergent Boundaries__ : 1. Where the Eurasian Plate and Indian Plate converge near the coast of Indonesia. The trech created is the Java Trench and the mountains are along the coast of Indonesia. 2. Where the Nazca Plate and South American Plate converge near the coast of Chile and Peru. The trench created is the Peru-Chile Trench and the mountains are the Andes Mountains. 3. Where the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate converge near the Aleutian Islands. The trench created is the Aleutian Trench and the mountains are along the coast of the Aleutian Islands.

Effects of Oceanic-Continental Convergent boundaries:   [|recent earthquakes] [|active volcanoes] __Four Test Questions: __ Give an example two plates come together to make the oceanic continental convergence? What happens to the oceanic plate when it meets the continental plate? What two major features can be formed from an oceanic continental convergence? Give a famous feature formed by a oceanic continental convergence?
 * The oceanic Nazca Plate converging with the continental South American Plate has created the Andes Mountains and the Peru-Chile trench. As the Nazca Plate was subducted underneath the South American Plate the Peru-Chile Trench was formed. At the same time the magma was forced upward creating the Andes Mountains over time. Today, there are volcanoes and earthquakes that are located and occuring along the Andes Mountains that show that they are is still magma being forced upward.
 * Another effect caused by this type of boundary are the Aleutian Islands. The Aleutian Islands were a result of the Pacific Plate being subducted beneath the North American Plate when they collided. Then the magma was forced upward forming the line of Aleutian Islands. Today, there are active volcanoes and recent earthquakes that show that magma is still being forced upward and evidence that the plates are still moving.
