What happens when oceanic crust collides with continental crust at a plate boundary?

A. The continental crust moves closer to the mantle.

B. The oceanic crust floats above the continental crust.

C. Some oceanic crust is consumed into the mantle.

D. Fresh oceanic crust is formed along the boundary line.

E. Ocean water changes the continental crust into oceanic crust.

Sometimes a plate carrying oceanic crust collides with a plate carrying continental crust. Oceanic crust is more dense than continental crust. ... Instead, subduction occurs as the oceanic plate sinks beneath the continental plate. When two plates carrying continental crust collide, subduction does not take place.
