What geologic feature/event would you most likely to find at a convergent boundary between two pieces of continental crust?
A
Earthquake
B
Mountain
C
Mid-ocean Ridge
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: -At a convergent boundary between two plates of oceanic lithosphere, the older, denser oceanic plate will always subduct, which will cause earthquakes and form volcanic isles. An oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary describes a collision between two plates composed of oceanic lithosphere.

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.
