<h2>Answer: British Isles
</h2>
The British Isles are an archipelago (Great Britain and Ireland, and other smaller islands) located at the northwest of the coast of Europe. They are separated from the European continent by the North Sea to the east and by the English Channel to the south, while to the west and north they border the Atlantic Ocean.
However this was not always in this way. Millions of years ago this portion of land was a peninsula linked by a limestone mountainous ridge to mainland Europe. This is how, where the current Dover Strait is located, there was a rock formation that joint Great Britain and France.
It is estimated that it was at the end of the last Ice Age (this whole area was frozen and the sea level was far much lower than today) that this territory began to separate from the continent, a process that ended in the Mesolithic period, in the middle of the Stone Age, becoming the insular territory we know today.
In fact, the current Irish Sea and the North Sea were dry land that was submerged with the rise of sea level in the thaw.

is it oceans or the actual continent/country
The answer are: mountains are formed, crust become molten rock and denser plates slides under lighter plates.
Let's look into the options one by one:
Crust is formed.
-This is in correct.
-At the ocean trench, plates subducts and were destroyed. No process of construction occurs as it is located at a destructive plate boundary.
Mountains are formed.
- This is correct.
- As it is located in the destructive plate bondary, two plates collide and create compressional force. The lighter continential will be compressed and foldes up to form fold mountains. One of the examples is the Rocky Mountain.
Seafloor spreading occurs.
-This is incorrect.
- Seafloor spreading occurs at constructive plate boundaries, however ocean trench occurs at destructive plate boudary and thus seafloor spreading does not take place.
Crust becomes molten rock.
- This is correct.
- When ocean trench is formed, denser oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate and meets the hot magma. The crust material will then melt under high temperature and become molten rock.
Denser plates slide under lighter plates.
- This is correct.
- At deep ocean trenches, denser oceanic plate slide under the lighter continential plate as it is located the destructive plate boundary.
It might not be on time, but I hope it helps explain the question. :)
In a time before railroads and highways, the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River served as the primary transportation system. Many of North America's largest cities were established along the waterway as commerce flourished between their ports. Today, Great Lakes-Seaway shipping is equally important.
