Question

studies have shown that there is a relationship between the type and location of boundaries and the distribution and depth of earthquakes along or near these boundaries. many earthquakes, shown in the map as wide bands, occur along convergent areas. these areas experience varying depths of earthquakes. where would oceanic - oceanic convergence most likely occur? nazca plate converging with the south america plate, forming the andes mountains philippine plate converging with the pacific plate, forming mariana islands in the pacific ocean juan de fuca converging with the north american plate, forming the cascade mountains north america plate converging with the eurasian plate, forming a mid - ocean ridge

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Oceanic - oceanic convergence occurs between two oceanic plates. The Nazca - South America and Juan de Fuca - North America involve an oceanic and a continental plate. The North America - Eurasian is not an oceanic - oceanic convergence. The Philippine plate and the Pacific plate are both oceanic plates and their convergence forms the Mariana Islands.

Answer:

Philippine plate converging with the Pacific plate, forming Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean
