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.

A(n) ______________ is a magma chamber that is solidified
Fofino [41]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

A Batholith is a magma chamber that is solidified.

When magma cools in the depth of the earth's crust and it is not exposed to the surface, forms a giant mass of igneous rock called Batholith. It is formed of coarse-grained granite, and its formation happens when magma rises into the earth's crust, as we stated above. These structures are huge and can extend up to forty square miles.
