Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary . Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction. Deep trenches are features often formed where tectonic plates are being subducted and earthquakes are common at subduction zones as well.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most geologically active regions on Earth are where plates collide. When two oceanic plates converge, the cooler, denser one descends, or subducts, beneath the overriding plate and sinks into the mantle.
