Question

which tectonic plate boundary caused the structure that is circled in the image? a. oceanic - continental convergent boundary b. oceanic - oceanic convergent boundary c. divergent boundary d. transform boundary

Explanation:

The circled structure is a volcano formed where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate. This occurs at an oceanic - continental convergent boundary. At oceanic - oceanic convergent boundaries, island - arc volcanoes form. Divergent boundaries create mid - ocean ridges and transform boundaries cause earthquakes without creating volcanoes like this.

Answer:

A. oceanic - continental convergent boundary
