Answer:

Deep Ocean Trenches, Volcanic Island Arcs and mountains

Step-by-step explanation:

At a convergent plate boundary two plates collides with one another. Based on the type of plate, different features can form at such a margin.

  • In a continental - continental crust collision, both plates have the same density so, they build up on collision to form a mountain.
  • In an oceanic - continental crust convergence; the oceanic plate is denser and it subducts. This leads to the formation of trenches. Also, here, the subducted plate will melt and a crack within the crust can allow for the melt to reach the surface and solidify to form volcanic Island arcs.
  • Oceanic - oceanic crust convergence is also known.
