At a subduction zone where oceanic lithosphere meets continental lithosphere, which would subduct and why? View Avaliable Hint(s) Oceanic lithosphere-it is more buoyant on the mantle. Coolinental thosphere -

is more buyenet on the montle. The coeanic lithosphere would subduct because if has a higher density at 3.0 grams per cubic centimeter. Continental lithosphere-R has a Nigher density at 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter. Continental lithosphere- -k is thicker than the ocearic plate and can plow through it.
