If two tectonic plates collide they form a convergent plate boundary, Usually one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, which is known as subduction.

These are my revision notes for plate boundaries. The third explains your question. The two plates converge and as they meet, the force causes fold mountains to form. The most dense plate boundary (oceanic crust) will subduct (go under) the other. This is called a deep sea trench. The crust that goes under will carry some water from the ocean with it and this will make the magma less dense when it melts under found. Therefore, it will rise up and find weaknesses in the fold mountains and form very steamy volcanoes.

Features: fold mountains, deep sea trench.

Answer: D

Explanation:

By 2100 Global warming would have more than double as the release of chlorofluorocarbons into the atmosphere does not seem to abase. The industrial zone of Pittsburgh, US contributes a lot to the increase in the atmospheric temperatures of the surrounding areas. The continually high demand for wood charcoal by pharmaceutical companies, households, and food vendors in developing countries would mean more deforestation which consequently expose the earth's crust to high insolatoon from the solar system.

However, the replacement of natural landscape by human landscape is on the rise. In the UAE, Dubai alone has u number of construction projects, from skyscrappers to artificial islands. More trees would be removed to make these construction projects possible. The consequent effect of all these cannot be anything other than more warming of the globe.
