What feature is formed on the continental crust at an oceanic-continental convergent boundary?

• volcanoes
• mid-ocean ridge
• ocean trench
• none of these features are formed at a oceanic-continental convergent boundary

Wegener’s proposal of a supercontinent was supported by:

• earthquake data
• seafloor magnetism
• rock, fossil, and climate data.
• convection currents in the mantle.

The physical layer of Earth made of solid rock and soil is called the ___________. 

• mesosphere
• lithosphere
• asthenosphere
• mantle

What type of event will occur at this boundary?

• Earthquake
• Volcano Eruption
• Tornado
• Mountain Building
