At a convergent plate boundary, the correct answer is:
A. Earth rock plates collide with one another.
At these boundaries, tectonic plates come together, which can lead to phenomena such as mountain building, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
A. Earth rock plates collide with one another
B. Earth rock plates grow denser
C. Earth rock plates pull away from each other
D. Earth rock plates slide past each other
A. Earth rock plates collide with one another.
At these boundaries, tectonic plates come together, which can lead to phenomena such as mountain building, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
A. a denser plate slides under a lighter plate
B. magma rises through the cracks in a solid rock plate
C. an oceanic plate covers a continental plate
D. One plates slides past another horizontally
A. a denser plate slides under a lighter plate.
In subduction zones, typically an oceanic plate (which is denser) will slide beneath a continental plate (which is less dense), leading to geological activity such as volcanic eruptions and the formation of deep ocean trenches.
