Sometimes, an ocean plate (which is made of denser rock than continental crust) collides with a continental plate, in which case one plate "subducts" or dives beneath the other plate.

Continents and oceans have scientific definitions that underpin international law. The idea of dividing the world into geographical zones is ancient. Sovereignty and influence over natural resources ...

The boundary between the brittle part of the upper mantle and the crust (both oceanic and continental) is known as the Mohorovičić Discontinuity (Moho) according to Geology.com.

plate boundaries . The oceanic rocks are usually made from basalt, while continental rocks are made from granite. Continental and oceanic plates all fit together to form the outer crust of the planet.

A new subduction zone south of New Zealand formed when tectonic forces brought a segment of weakened continental crust from the submerged continent of Zealandia next to denser oceanic crust.

Mr. Joannes Eidesgaard, the Prime Minister of the Faroes, signed an agreement on the establishment of boundaries for the continental shelf area beyond 200 nautical miles north of the Faroes.

A subduction zone near Gibraltar may move into the Atlantic, creating an "Atlantic ring of fire" before the ocean begins to close.
