Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, which is known as subduction. Deep trenches are often formed where tectonic plates are being subducted and earthquakes are common. As the sinking plate moves deeper into the mantle, fluids are released from the rock causing the overlying mantle to partially melt. The new magma (molten rock) rises and may erupt violently to form volcanoes, often building arcs of islands along the convergent boundary

Answer

A. As two oceanic plates come together, one plate may sink and slide beneath the other causing underwater volcanoes to form. The volcanoes will build up and gradually extend above the water’s surface forming islands.

Explanation

The Islands are formed through the subduction process where the oceanic and continental plates converge. The dense and less thick oceanic plate is forced under the continental plate. The plate gets hotter the deeper it is pushed. When the plate reaches a depth facilitating the melting point, a molten rock is formed and it rises to the surface as forming a new volcano on the continental plate.

How does the environment effect local climate and global climate?
galben [10]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • The environment of a place is mobile and dynamic in character it can impact both the local and global climates of any place on earth. The <u>atmospheric circulation, oceanic currents, and biogeography</u> of a place have an impact on the local climate and weather pattern of the place.
  • Like places in poles are cool and have cold environments that affect the general circulation of the atmosphere of the planet by the current produced in oceans and air as a polar cell.
  • Similarly palace on the equator is in direct contact with the sunlight and thus their environment is of calm nature hence, the convective currents develop over here.
  • Thus the environment is what surrounds us can directly and indirectly impact the local which will lead to a change in global changes as well.
