Oceanic lithosphere is the main material being subducted at an ocean-continent convergent boundary.
- There are two types of lithosphere: oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere.
- Oceanic lithosphere is associated with oceanic crust, and is slightly denser than continental lithosphere. Plate Tectonics. The most well-known feature associated with Earth's lithosphere is tectonic activity.
- At an ocean-continent convergent boundary, the denser oceanic plate is pushed under the less dense continental plate in the same manner as at an ocean-ocean boundary. Subduction of the Juan de Fuca Plate under North America created the Cascade Range.
- Oceanic crust may collide with a continent. The oceanic plate is denser, so it undergoes subduction. This means that the oceanic plate sinks beneath the continent. This occurs at an ocean trench . Subduction zones are where subduction takes place.

The answer is D. The crust.
We’re standing on the crust. This is the outermost layer.
Answer:Causes of Global warming
Explanation:
Where are the extra Green house gases coming from?
Most scientist think that human activities such as burning fossil fuels, using cars and other vehicles ,and clearing forest have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. There are green house gases in our atmosphere,e.g. water vapor , carbon dioxide , methane nitro us dioxide and ozone.
They absorb heat from Sun rays and radiate in all directions, which warm's the Earth.The Earth could become too hot and this causes climate change which has a lot of effects on Earth. Earth's dry regions will become more drier and wet regions will become more wetter e.g.
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "B. are caused by the movement of tectonic plates." Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates.
Here are the following choices:
A. are caused by weak spots in Earth's crust
B. are caused by the movement of tectonic plates
C. can build new landforms, like islands
D. create new oceanic crust through seafloor spreading
The Malay Archipelago is the only set of of islands near Pupua, so that's probably it.
