Question

Select all the correct answers.

The oceanic crust of one plate is colliding with the continental crust of another plate. Which of these events are likely to take
place as the two plates collide?

Answer 1

When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, the oceanic crust will always subduct under the continental crust; this is because oceanic crust is naturally denser. Convergent boundaries are commonly associated with larger earthquakes and higher volcanic activity.
