Seafloor spreading causes an oceanic plate to collide with a continental plate. If it were to go through the whole tectonic cycle, number the steps that would follow.

1.Step 1 2.Step 2 3.Step 3
A)From the intense heat and pressure within the mantle, the crust of the oceanic plate would mix with the rock of the mantle. B)Mantle convection would cause magma to rise up through divergent boundaries. C)The oceanic plate would subduct under the continental plate into the asthenosphere.
