Question

occasionally earthquakes occur as a result of collisions along oceanic - continental convergent boundaries. where do these earthquakes most likely occur?
on land but close to oceans
inland, far from the coast
in the middle of the oceans
anywhere there are mountains

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Oceanic - continental convergent boundaries occur where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate. This interaction happens near the coast, so earthquakes from such collisions are on land but close to oceans. Inland far from coasts don't have oceanic - continental convergence, middle of oceans is for oceanic - oceanic boundaries, and not all mountains are at these convergent boundaries.

Answer:

A. on land but close to oceans
