When two tectonic plates collide/converge, usually a continental and an oceanic plate, the oceanic plate is submerged by the tectonic one because it is denser. The plate dives into the mantle and is consumed. The boundary, therefore, keeps ‘eating’ up the oceanic  plate hence reduces it over time. An example is the Mariana Trench (a subduction zone) in the Pacific ocean. The Pacific ocean, therefore, continues to shrink over time.

On the other hand, divergent boundaries (such as the one in the Atlantic Ocean) make new crust.

Answer:

Language and religion are the cultural traits that have been influenced the most by European colonization.

Explanation:

Latin America is a region that spreads from Mexico through Central America and South America. The majority of this region has been colonized by Spain, with Portugal having a big chunk in Brazil and several other colonizers but on a much smaller scale. Having the region under their control, the colonizers managed to have a big influence on the population, and some of the biggest influences can be seen in the language and religion of the region.

In all of the countries of the region, the most spoken language is Europen, mostly Spanish and Portuguese, with all other languages that are presently being used locally or on a much smaller scale. The religion in this region is the same throughout it, with Catholic Christianity being by far the most dominant religion, and it has been brought and forced upon the natives by the Spanish and Portuguese.
