Question
which of the following features is primarily associated with oceanic - oceanic convergence?
volcanic island arc
mountain belt
rift valley
plateau
question 3
When two oceanic plates converge, one is subducted beneath the other. The subduction process leads to magma formation. This magma rises and erupts, creating a chain of volcanic islands known as a volcanic island arc. A mountain belt is more associated with continental - continental or continental - oceanic convergence (in some cases of large - scale mountain building). A rift valley is formed by tensional forces (divergence), not convergence. A plateau can form due to various processes like volcanic activity (but not specifically oceanic - oceanic convergence) or uplift, but it is not the primary feature of oceanic - oceanic convergence.
