Question

what does an oceanic-oceanic convergence give rise to?
folded mountains
volcanic island arcs
continental volcanic mountains
valleys and ridges

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Oceanic-oceanic convergence occurs when two oceanic tectonic plates collide. The denser plate subducts beneath the other, melting in the mantle. The melted material rises, forming chains of volcanic islands parallel to the subduction zone, which are volcanic island arcs. Folded mountains form at continental-continental convergences, continental volcanic mountains form at oceanic-continental convergences, and valleys/ridges are typically from divergent boundaries or transform faults.

Answer:

B. volcanic island arcs
