The correct response is:

They form along plate boundaries.

Volcanoes are commonly found at places where tectonic plates interact, including convergent and divergent boundaries.

Use the diagram below to answer the question.

During the collision, the oceanic plate is bent downwards as the rocks are forced down into the mantle. This collision creates a trench between the two plates and folding at the surface of the continental plate.

Which feature forms when one plate is forced to bend and dive under the other?

When one plate is forced to bend and dive under the other, the feature that forms is:

a submarine volcano.

This occurs in subduction zones where the oceanic plate descends into the mantle, often leading to volcanic activity either on the ocean floor or on land, depending on the location of the subduction.

It radiates outward in all directions.

It increases as it reaches the surface.

It disappears at it moves through the crust.

It spreads out in random directions.

The correct response is:

It radiates outward in all directions.

When blocks of Earth's crust slip past each other, such as during an earthquake, the energy released is seismic energy that radiates outward from the point of the slip or rupture.

Thanks! But the 3rd question was wrong, it was: a deep canyon

I apologize for the oversight. You are correct that when one plate is forced to bend and dive under another plate at a subduction zone, it can create a deep trench or canyon in the ocean floor. Thank you for your patience, and I'm glad you pointed that out! If you have more questions, feel free to ask.
