Question

convergent boundary - what forms when 2 convergent boundaries come together? (there is more than 1 correct answer)

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When two convergent boundaries (tectonic plates) come together, depending on the types of plates (oceanic - oceanic, oceanic - continental, continental - continental), different landforms or features form. For oceanic - oceanic or oceanic - continental convergence, subduction zones form (where one plate subducts under another), and this can lead to the formation of volcanoes (like volcanic arcs) and oceanic trenches. For continental - continental convergence, mountain ranges (like the Himalayas) form as the plates collide and crumple the crust. Also, earthquakes are common at convergent boundaries due to the stress and friction during plate interaction.

Answer:

Possible answers include: Volcanoes, Oceanic Trenches, Mountain Ranges, Subduction Zones, Earthquakes (any of these or other valid geological features formed at convergent boundaries)
