Answer:

A chain of volcanic mountains will form on the edge of the continent or just offshore

Step-by-step explanation:

When oceanic crust converges with continental crust, the denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental plate. This causes melting in the mantle above the plate and creates volcanoes on or near the edge of the continent. A deep ocean trench also forms offshore.

Hope this helps :)
