At which type of plate boundary would a string of small volcanic islands most likely form?(1 point)
Responses

divergent ocean-ocean boundary

transverse boundary
transverse boundary

convergent ocean-ocean boundary
convergent ocean-ocean boundary

convergent ocean-land boundary

Answer 1

A string of small volcanic islands is most likely to form at a **convergent ocean-ocean boundary**. At this type of boundary, one tectonic plate is subducting beneath another, which can lead to the formation of volcanic island arcs.
