Question

What best describes the geologic process of subduction?
1.when diverging plates pull apart from undersea ridges
2.when convergent plates collide and form mountain ranges
3.when a heavier transforming plate moves over the top of lighter plate
4.when a convergent plate meets and the heavier plate moves under the lighter plate

Answer 1

Answer:

when a heavier transforming plate moves over the top of lighter plate

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

when a convergent plate meets and the heavier plate moves under the lighter plate

Explanation:

Subduction occurs when heavier ocean plates move underneath land plates. This also causes magma to push up on the land and form rows of stratovolcanoes such as those on US Pacific Coast states.
