Oceanic lithosphere is the main material being subducted at an ocean-continent convergent boundary.

  • There are two types of lithosphere: oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere.
  • Oceanic lithosphere is associated with oceanic crust, and is slightly denser than continental lithosphere. Plate Tectonics. The most well-known feature associated with Earth's lithosphere is tectonic activity.
  • At an ocean-continent convergent boundary, the denser oceanic plate is pushed under the less dense continental plate in the same manner as at an ocean-ocean boundary. Subduction of the Juan de Fuca Plate under North America created the Cascade Range.
  • Oceanic crust may collide with a continent. The oceanic plate is denser, so it undergoes subduction. This means that the oceanic plate sinks beneath the continent. This occurs at an ocean trench . Subduction zones are where subduction takes place.

Airida [17]

The false statement is -  B. This map projection does not distort shapes.

The map shown on the image is a Mollweide projection map. This is a map that has an elliptical shape, unlike most of the maps that have a rectangular shape. It is a map that pretty accurately manages to depict the Earth's continents with their right sizes.

Unfortunately, it can not be said that the map is without flaws. It is a map that has distortions, as all the others do, but it is still a map where the distortions are very small, thus the depiction is much accurate than on most of the other map projections.
