Barrier beaches and islands occur worldwide, lying offshore of nearly 13% of Earth's coastlines.
Barrier beaches and barrier islands that form from or along them, are found all around the world. In general, the barrier beaches form where the tidal range is small, and they can turn into barrier islands where stronger tidal currents maintain open, transverse gaps.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

The answer is True. In a convergent boundary, two tectonic plates collide as they move in opposite directions, and there is a subduction zone where there are deep trenches. As the heavier tectonic plate, mostly the oceanic plate, is subducted, it enters the mantle and begins to melt. This makes magma that rises and erupts into a volcano in the overlying continental plate. This is how the Andes Mountains were formed.
