Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What would you likely find at a convergent boundary between two pieces of continental crust?
A
volcano
B
mountains
C
rift
D
ridge
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Earthquakes are common along convergent boundaries.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Examples of continent-continent convergent boundaries are the collision of the India Plate with the Eurasian Plate, creating the Himalaya Mountains, and the collision of the African Plate with the Eurasian Plate, creating the series of ranges extending from the Alps in Europe to the Zagros Mountains in Iran.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sometimes an entire ocean closes as tectonic plates converge, causing blocks of thick continental crust to collide. A collisional mountain range forms as the crust is compressed, crumpled, and thickened even more.
