The correct answer is True

Step-by-step explanation

An accretion wedge is an area where deformed sediment accumulates that occurs at a convergent edge at the boundaries of subduction plates (ocean-continent). This process occurs when sediments from the oceanic crust accumulate to the block of continental crust produced. by the subduction movement of the oceanic crust. So, the correct answer is True.
