what happens at a convergent boundary A magnetism occurs as lithosphere plates are attracted toward each other by gravity, B mountains form as lithosphere plates move side by side past each other, C earthquakes occur as lithosphere plates are move away from each other, D collisions occur as lithosphere plates move toward each other

1 answer

At a convergent boundary, the correct description is:

D. collisions occur as lithosphere plates move toward each other.

At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates collide, which can lead to various geological features and events, such as the formation of mountains, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity. This collision can also cause earthquakes due to the stress and deformation of the Earth's crust. The other options describe different types of plate interactions: A refers to gravitational forces but doesn't accurately describe convergent boundaries, B describes transform boundaries where plates slide past each other, and C describes divergent boundaries where plates move apart.
