What is formed at convergent, continental-continental plates?

• Mid-ocean ridge

• Volcanic mountains (volcanic arc)

• Mountains

• Rift Valley

A process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through rising magma slowing moving away from the ridge where two ocean plates diverge

• ocean trench

• sea floor spreading

• continental drift

• plate tectonics
