Question

Which tectonic plate boundary caused the structure that is circled in the image? oceanic-continental convergent boundary oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary divergent boundary transform boundary NextReset

Answer 1

It is an oceanic-continental convergent boundary since an oceanic and a continental plate is coming together, creating a subduction zone. This creates magma, which comes up to the surface in the form of mountains or volcanoes i.e. the circled image.

Answer 2

The correct answer is oceanic-continental convergent boundary.

As the oceanic-continental plate collide and override each other, the oceanic plate is forced deeper into the mantle in the subduction zone, wherein the higher temperatures causes the materials in the subduction zone to reach their melting point . The magma formed is less dense and buoyant. The hot magma rises and erupts as a volcano.
