The oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental plate because the continental plate is less dense and floats over it. The oceanic plate usually sinks into the earth's mantle where it melts and will be recycled to make new oceanic crust The place where the oceanic plate subducts into the mantle is usually marked by a volcanic mountain range, a good example would be the Cascade Mountains in the Pacific Northwest..
