Answer:

In a convergent plate boundary, two plates move towards one another. Due to this collision, the denser plate sinks below the less denser plate. It is marked by a subduction zone and deep-sea trench. Deep focus earthquakes originate in these regions. due to the high temperature and pressure at greater depth, partial melting takes place, as a result of which the plate melts and the magma being less dense, rises up towards the surface in the over-riding plate, forming volcanoes or chain of volcanic islands.

The San Andes Mountain also has formed in this way, by sharing a convergent plate boundary, where the denser Pacific plate (Oceanic crust) is subducting beneath the less dense South American plate (Continental plate).

Singapore is a city-State which is also an island and lies on the South of Malaysia. It was originally part of Malaysia but was later granted Independence. The country has a mixed population with a majority of ethnic Chinese followed by Malay, Tamils and other Asians.

Myanmar was originally known as Burma and used to be part of the British Empire. Yangon is the most popular city but unlike Singapore, the country is not wealthy and does not enjoy sophisticated trading relations with most countries.
