Question

When two continents converge, ________. the heavier continent is subducted a volcanic arc forms on the upper plate the lighter continent is subducted the sediments trapped between them are pushed up and deformed to make a mountain range

Answer 1

Hey!

What you have put up simply describes a DESTRUCTIVE PLATE BOUNDARY

Step-by-step explanation:

The "upper continent" is actually the HEAVIER, OCEANIC PLATE which DOES subduct under the "lighter continent" aka the CONTINENTAL PLATE...

VOLCANOES are very common...often with frequent eruptions as the plates are tirelessly moving...

FOLD MOUNTAINS are formed on the lighter crusts as result to the forses acting upon it from the subducting plate...

HOPE THIS HELPS!
