Question

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

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In an oceanic - oceanic convergence, one oceanic plate subducts beneath another. As the subducting plate melts, magma rises to the surface and forms a chain of volcanic islands known as volcanic island arcs. Continental volcanic mountains form at oceanic - continental convergence. Valleys and ridges are not the direct result of oceanic - oceanic convergence. Folded mountains are formed mainly by continental - continental convergence or other tectonic activities not related to oceanic - oceanic convergence directly.

Answer:

volcanic island arcs
