A convergent plate boundary is most likely associated with an) :

A) oceanic trench
B) a linear chain of island
C) mid-ocean ridge
D) transform fault
E) none of these

Convergent Plate Boundary

A region where two tectonic plates move towards each other, often causing earthquakes and forming mountains.

Oceanic Trench

A deep, narrow depression in the ocean floor, usually occurring at subduction zones where one tectonic plate is being forced under another.

Island Chain

A series of islands formed close to each other, often as a result of volcanic activity.

  • Recognize the various kinds of tectonic plate margins and the corresponding geological characteristics.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
A convergent plate boundary is characterized by the collision of two tectonic plates, often leading to the subduction of one plate beneath the other. This process typically forms oceanic trenches where the subducting plate descends into the mantle.
