It is called subduction and only occurs in oceanic to oceanic or oceanic to continental plate collisions.
Subduction
When a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate and overtakes it, the denser oceanic plate is forced underneath the continental plate in a process called subduction. This creates a deep ocean trench, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes along the boundary between the two plates. The subduction process can also lead to the formation of mountain ranges on the overriding continental plate.
This type of zone is called a subduction zone. At subduction zones, the oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate due to its denser composition. This process can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs and deep ocean trenches.
This process is known as subduction.

This is called a subduction zone.
It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).

when oceanic crust and continental crust collide, the oceanic crust sinks down beneath the continental crust. this is called subduction.
They form when the oceanic crust goes under the Continental crust. The oceanic crust then forms the trenches through a process called subduction.
