Answer (1)

See, when two plates move against each other (convergent) one is oceanic and other one is continental, the oceanic subduct to continental plate (since oceanic plate is denser) and re-enters the mantle and it melts then the magma rises again (due to convection) and forms a landform also known as Volcano.Oceanic-Continental results to "continental arc or volcanic arc"—these are mountain range near the shore.ex: Aleutian range is an continental arcOceanic- Oceanic results to "island arc" island in the subduction zone (mostly near the shore)—these are volcanic island ex: Ryukkyu Island in Japannote: please check the grammar since this is not ai generated (Im CE student currently taking Geology for Engineer) hope my explanation helps or gives idea at least. Good luck ma boii
