Question 16 • DRHS GA-GSE Earth Systems

Which statement describes convergent boundaries?

Answer
A
Rifts form.
B
Subduction occurs.
C
Plates push away from each other.
D
Mid-ocean ridges mark locations.

Explanation

At a convergent boundary, tectonic plates move toward each other. When one plate sinks beneath another, the process is called subduction, so “Subduction occurs” is correct. Rifts and mid-ocean ridges are associated with plates moving apart, not converging.
