When two plates converge, one plate is usually forced to slide under the other. Oceanic plates are denser than continental plates. If an oceanic plate collides with a
continental plate, what will be the likely result at the subduction zone?
A. The continental plate will slide under the oceanic plate, generating an oceanic
trench.
B. The oceanic plate will slide under the continental plate, generating an oceanic
trench.
C. The continental plate will slide under the oceanic plate, generating an
earthquake.
D. The oceanic plate will slide under the continental plate, generating a volcanic
mountain range.
