Convergent plate boundaries are characteristic of B) collision zones between plates.

The place where the plate sinks is called the subduction zone. The type of convergence that occurs between the plates (sometimes called a very slow "collision") depends on the type of lithosphere involved.

The collision zone occurs when two continental plates move toward each other and collide. The land between the plates is forced upwards to form a fold. B. Alps and Himalayas.

The subduction zone is also created when two oceanic plates collide, pushing the old plate under the young plate to form a chain of volcanic islands known as island arcs.

Why do earth quakes often happen near volcanic regions
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Most earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of magma. The magma exerts pressure on the rocks until it cracks the rock. Then the magma squirts into the crack and starts building pressure again. Every time the rock cracks it makes a small earthquake.
