Question 12 of 26 What happens at a subduction zone between an oceanic plate and a
continental plate?
A. The oceanic plate and continental plate slide past each other,
creating a series of faults that allow magma to rise and form a
chain of volcanoes.
B. The oceanic plate slides under the continental plate, and part of it
melts to form magma that rises up through the continental plate.
C. The continental plate slides under the oceanic plate, and part of it
melts to form magma that sinks into the mantle.
D. The oceanic plate and continental plate pull away from each other,
allowing magma to rise and form an ocean ridge.
