<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>A. continental-oceanic convergent</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>A convergent boundary</u></em> is a type of boundary where two plates collide and push against one another.
  • <em><u>A continental-oceanic convergent</u></em> is a type of convergent boundary that occurs as a result of <em><u>subduction.</u></em> <em><u>Subduction occurs where a continental plate collide thus resulting to the oceanic plate being pushed underneath the continental plate</u></em> into the mantle since the oceanic plates are much thinner.
  • The result is that <em><u>the oceanic plates melts into hot magma which that burns its way up through the continental plate</u></em> forming a volcano and also causing earth quakes.
