The process of one tectonic plate sinking beneath the other in at a convergent boundary is called

• subduction.

• a volcanic island arc.

• seafloor spreading.

• a rift valley.

• a hot spot.

When subduction occurs as a result of two converging oceanic plates, the result is

• subduction.

• a volcanic island arc.

• seafloor spreading.

• a rift valley.

• a hot spot.

When two ocean plates diverge, magma rises into the space between the plates, building new rock in a process called
