Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What geologic feature/event would you most likely to find at a convergent boundary between two pieces of continental crust with similar densities (convergent-collisional)?
A
Volcano
B
Mountain
C
Rift
D
Island Arc
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Volcanoes are one kind of feature that forms along convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide and one moves beneath the other.

Detailed explanation-2: -The geologic events that occur at convergent boundaries include volcanic activity, earthquakes, mountain formation, and subduction. Volcanic activity usually accompanied subduction when one plate is forced down and below the other plate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Instead, a collision between two continental plates crunches and folds the rock at the boundary, lifting it up and leading to the formation of mountains and mountain ranges.

Detailed explanation-4: -A divergent plate boundary often forms a mountain chain known as a ridge. This feature forms as magma escapes into the space between the spreading tectonic plates.

Detailed explanation-5: -Which geologic features are associated with convergent plate boundaries? The Geological features that are associated with convergent plate boundaries are Mountains, Trenches, Island Arcs, Volcanoes & Terranes. 6.
