Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A type of plate boundaries where plates merged and subduction occurs?
A
transform
B
convergent
C
divergent
D
slide plates
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary describes a collision between two plates composed of oceanic lithosphere. Even though this boundary involves the same type of lithosphere, one of the plates will still subduct beneath the other.

Detailed explanation-2: -Convergent (Colliding): This occurs when plates move towards each other and collide. When a continental plate meets an oceanic plate, the thinner, denser, and more flexible oceanic plate sinks beneath the thicker, more rigid continental plate. This is called subduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary. The impact of the colliding plates can cause the edges of one or both plates to buckle up into a mountain ranges or one of the plates may bend down into a deep seafloor trench.
