Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The features that form at a plate boundary depend on
A
the temperature of the plate
B
what kind of plate boundary it is
C
the continent the plate is closest to
D
the depth of the ocean above that plate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When two plates move towards each other, the boundary is known as a convergent boundary. As previously mentioned, depending on what type of crust each converging plate is, different geographic features are formed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deep ocean trenches, volcanoes, island arcs, submarine mountain ranges, and fault lines are examples of features that can form along plate tectonic boundaries.

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Divergent Plate Boundary. Volcanic eruptions and shallow earthquakes are common where plates rip apart. Convergent Plate Boundary. Transform Plate Boundary. Hotspot. 11-Feb-2020

Detailed explanation-5: -Convergent Boundary. As its name states, this boundary can be found along where two plates collide head-on, leading to the formation of either volcanoes, deep-sea trenches or mountains. Divergent Boundary. Transform fault/ Conservative Boundary. 26-Feb-2016
