Answer:

Rocks are formed at convergent plate tectonics.

Explanation:

The 'movement of Earth's crust' through convection currents is known as Plate Tectonics.

There are two types of plate tectonics- Convergent and Divergent plate boundaries.

Divergent plate boundaries occur when the magma rises to the upper surface.

Convergent plate boundaries occur when cooled rock - sedimentary rock becomes much denser and sinks back to the mantle of the Earth.

Over a period of time, this crust melts and rises to the surface causing eruption of a volcano.
