<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The geological process taking place in the convergent boundaries is what is called subduction. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The tectonic plates moves from side to another and they are forced to sink because of substantial gravitational forces to the mantle.  

The crust of the earth is continuous however it is divided into pieces, the pieces, therefore, is one called tectonic plates, and they move close to each other through the power of convection cycles contained in the mantle below the crust enabling the plates to move freely.

4. 4 The creation of independent city-states in ancient Greece can be most directly attributed to the
aev [14]
The biggest reason why ancient Greece never chose a single King, and  was dominated by smaller city-states instead, are the geographic features of the land where these cities were settled. The mountainous terrain, the isolation of the valleys, and the number of isolated islands would make it difficult for one person to govern it all. 

Also, Greeks were famous for their aristocracy that prevented the forming of monarchies. Political independence of the city-states was constantly protected by the aristocracy and so, any individual who would want to conquer the territory would succeed for only a short time and would never have the glory and respect of a real king.
