The feature that forms when one plate is forced to bend and dive under the other is a submarine volcano. This occurs at subduction zones, where the oceanic plate is pushed beneath the continental plate. As the oceanic plate descends, it can lead to melting of the mantle and magma formation, resulting in volcanic activity.
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?
