Answer:

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.
