Question
what geological features are often associated with subduction zones in continent-oceanic convergence? trenches and volcanoes mid-ocean ridges plateaus and deserts
In continent - oceanic convergence subduction zones, the oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental plate. This subduction creates deep ocean trenches at the subduction boundary. Also, the melting of the subducted oceanic plate and the overlying mantle material leads to volcanic activity, forming volcanoes (often in a volcanic arc). Mid - ocean ridges are associated with divergent plate boundaries, and plateaus and deserts are not typical features of subduction zones. So the correct option is "Trenches and volcanoes".
