40. In this type of boundary the older denser oceanic crust dives below the oceanic crust, heats up, and melts -- finds a weak spot in the crust resulting in a volcano.

41. Oceanic/Oceanic continental crust Example Japan

42. In this type of boundary the older dense oceanic crust dives below the continental crust. The oceanic crust will melt and push up through a weak spot in the continental crust form a volcano.

43. Continental/oceanic convergent boundary Example-Cascade Mountains
