The feature that forms when one plate is forced to bend and dive under the other is a submarine volcano. This occurs due to the melting of the subducted plate as it moves into the mantle, resulting in volcanic activity, which often leads to the formation of volcanoes underwater.
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.
