• rift valleys

• faults

• trenches

What geological feature would an oceanic-continental convergent boundary create?

• volcanic mountains

• rift valley

• volcanic islands

• deep ocean trench

• subduction zone

Answer explanation

subduction zones happen when an ocean plate crashes into another at a convergent boundary

this ocean plate dives into the asthenosphere through the deep ocean trench and is melted

there is no room for extra magma, so volcanic mountains are formed on the continental plate to release the extra magma
