Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
There are three types of convergent boundaries:oceanic-oceanic, continental-oceanic, and ____
A
continental-continental
B
continental-convergent
C
oceanic-convergent
D
divergent-convergent
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Convergent boundaries, where two plates are moving toward each other, are of three types, depending on the type of crust present on either side of the boundary-oceanic or continental . The types are ocean-ocean, ocean-continent, and continent-continent.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three kinds of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries. This image shows the three main types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are essentially three types of plate boundaries, which are divergent, convergent, and transform. In the case of divergent plate boundaries, two of earth’s plates move away from each other. Spreading centers and areas where new ocean floor are generally located at divergent plate boundaries.

Detailed explanation-4: -Oceanic-Continental Convergent Boundary. Figure 2.4. 3. At a convergent boundary between oceanic and continental lithosphere, the oceanic plate will always subduct, which will cause earthquakes and form volcanic arcs.

Detailed explanation-5: -A convergent plate boundary forms where two plates collide. That collision can happen between a continent and oceanic crust, between two oceanic plates, or between two continents.
