Oceanic – oceanic convergence
In collisions between two oceanic plates, the cooler, denser oceanic lithosphere sinks beneath the warmer, less dense oceanic lithosphere. As the slab sinks deeper into the mantle, it releases water from dehydration of hydrous minerals in the oceanic crust.
They will collide and create a disturbance w/c is an earthquake and tsunami one will subduct under the other plate and will form a trench.it will melt down to the mantle and will mix with other compounds making it less denser and will rise up and will create a volcano underneath the see floors.
