Question

Alexa is preparing for a presentation by creating note cards identifying keywords that describe various features of each type of plate boundary. Which words apply to all three of the convergent boundaries?

A. mountain ranges form, earthquakes are common, subduction zones form
B.plates move towards each other, volcanoes form, subduction zones form
C.earthquakes are common, plates move toward each other, one plate sinks below other
D.plates slide past each other, earthquakes are common, mountain ranges form

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C. on edgen.

Explanation:

C.. earthquakes are common, plates move toward each other, one plate sinks below other

Answer 2

Answer:

Options (B) and (C)

Explanation:

The Convergent plate boundary is one type of tectonic boundary, where one plate strikes with the other. During this type of motion, the denser plate sinks below the lighter plate and results in the formation of a subduction zone. The subducting plate melts at greater depth and eventually mixes up with melt. The magma again slowly rises upward due to the force exerted by the convection current, towards the surface of the earth in the over-riding plate, giving rise to the formation of volcanoes. These are the zones of active tectonics, where deep focus earthquakes are originated.

Thus, the correct answer is options (B) and (C).
