Question
what is the primary outcome of oceanic-oceanic convergence?
formation of mountain ranges
creation of deep oceanic trenches
expansion of continental landmasses
When two oceanic plates converge, one is subducted beneath the other. This subduction process leads to the formation of deep oceanic trenches. Mountain ranges (usually from continental - continental or continental - oceanic in some cases with volcanic arcs) and continental landmass expansion (not a direct result of oceanic - oceanic convergence) are not the primary outcomes here.
