After the plates converge on one another, what most likely happens?
A hurricane will occur.
A large mountain range will form.
A chain of volcanic islands will form.
The continental crust will be destroyed.

Answer 1

After oceanic plates converge on one another, the most likely outcome is that a chain of volcanic islands will form. This process occurs because one oceanic plate is subducted beneath the other, leading to melting of the subducted plate in the mantle and resulting in volcanic activity that creates islands. Therefore, the correct answer is:

**A chain of volcanic islands will form.**
