question 2
in a convergent boundary where an oceanic plate meets a continental plate, what major geological feature is typically formed?
mid - ocean ridge
mountain range
trench
fault line
When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, the denser oceanic plate subducts (dives beneath) the continental plate. As it descends, it creates a deep - sided depression in the ocean floor known as a trench. Mid - Ocean Ridges are formed at divergent boundaries (where plates move apart). Mountain Ranges can be formed at continental - continental convergent boundaries (not oceanic - continental in the typical sense of this question). Fault Lines are associated with transform boundaries (where plates slide past each other).
