    Continent-Ocean Convergence is similar to ocean-ocean convergence. One important difference is that in continent-ocean convergence mountains are formed instead of islands. When oceanic and continental plates collide or converge, the oceanic plate (denser plate) subducts or plunges below the continental plate (less dense plate) forming a trench along the boundary.
