Question

question 5 (5 points)
listen
where are subduction zones likely to form?
a) between two diverging continental plates
b) between converging oceanic and continental plates
c) between diverging oceanic and continental plates
d) between two diverging oceanic plates

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Subduction zones form at convergent plate boundaries where one plate is forced beneath another. Oceanic plates are denser than continental plates. When an oceanic - continental plate convergence occurs, the denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental plate. Diverging plates create different geological features like mid - ocean ridges or rift valleys.

Answer:

B. Between converging oceanic and continental plates
