At the convergent boundary the two plates move towards each other and impact into one another.
Between the two Oceanic plates one of the two plates will subduct underneath the other. This means that this plate is forced to sink down under the other plate, because of the high gravitational, potential energy, into the mantle.

As you can see, the Pacific plate is being subducted by the Phillipine Plate to form the Mariana Trench and the Mariana Islands

Because one of the oceanic plates is more dense than the other, it is subducted underneath the lighter one.
Other examples of convergent boundaries:
Continental to Continental- Neither plate is subducted because they are both too light.
Continental to Oceanic- The oceanic plate is subducted under the continental plate because it is denser.

The deepest part of the Mariana Trench is called the Challenger Deep and it formed due to the shifting crust and the converging plates. The Mariana Trench stretches over 1,580 miles in an arc, with an approximate witdth of 43 miles.The Mariana Trench is located in the west Pacific Ocean, east of the Phillipines.

a curved chain of volcanic islands located at a tectonic plate margin, typically with a deep ocean trench on the convex side.

a long, narrow, deep depression in the ocean floor, typically one running parallel to a plate boundary and marking a subduction zone.

When older oceanic lithosphere and newer, less dense oceanic lithosphere collide,  the denser crust is subducted underneath the newer crust.

The Philippine Trench is considered to still be an active depression and is less than 8 million years. It is located to the east of the Philippine Islands. This was created from the Palawan and Zamboanga plates colliding. The deepest point of the trench is 10,540 meters deep, and is known as the Galathea Depth.

Location: It is near the coastline, just west of Central America,
The small Cocos Plate is being subducted under the North American and Caribbean Plates.

Interesting Facts:
1. It is split into two sections because the Tehuantepec Ridge intersects it (the northern part is narrow and has no basin, while the southern portion is wide and contains a very large basin).
2. It is the 18th deepest trench in the world.
3. There is many earthquakes in this area because of multiple plates colliding.

One of the five volcanos making up Hawaii was formed, what has found to be over a million years ago, when the Pacific plate moved onto a Hawaiian hot spot.
Mauna Loa is the second most active volcano on the island, right after Kilauea.
Mauna Loa is the largest active volcano on Earth, with a very impressive height of 13,697 feet tall, above sea level! It also runs about 3, 100 feet, below sea level.
It is also found that Mauna Loa is a shield volcano. This volcano is covering more than fifty percent of all of Hawaii.
