Respuesta :

At some convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. Oceanic crust tends to be denser and thinner than continental crust, therefore, the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust. This results to the formation of a subduction zone. Oceanic crust consists of basalt rock and it makes up the floor of the oceans and seas. Continental crust consists of granite rock and lies beneath the continents, it is less dense than oceanic crust.

Answer:

Subduction zone, Trench and Volcanoes

Explanation:

When an oceanic plate converges a continental plate, it forms a convergent plate boundary, that results in the formation of a subduction zone marked by deep-sea trench. The oceanic plate being denser gets sinks below the less dense continental plate, and undergoes partial melting at greater depth. Due to this, the magma rises up to the surface towards the over-riding plate, giving rise to the formation of volcanoes or chain of volcanic islands.

Thus, the resulting features formed in this type of plate boundary are subduction zone, trenches, and volcanoes.
