Question

question 1 (multiple choice worth 2 points) when an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, what is the resulting feature? mid - ocean ridge mountain rift valley trench

Explanation:

When an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, the denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental plate. This subduction process leads to the formation of a deep - sea trench along the boundary of the two plates. Mid - ocean ridges form at divergent plate boundaries, mountains can form in continental - continental plate collisions or volcanic arcs in oceanic - oceanic collisions (not the main result here), and rift valleys form at divergent boundaries within continents.

Answer:

D. Trench
