Answer:
The geologic features and events of oceanic-oceanic convergence:
Explanation:
When oceanic and continental plates collide, the the thicker continental plate overrides on the thinner oceanic plate. The thinner plate means the oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle as the effect of subduction. As the oceanic plate being subducted it enters into higher temperature environments. At a depth of about 100 miles materials in the subducting plate begin to approach their melting temperatures and a process of partial melting begins.

Geologic features and events of oceanic-oceanic convergence:
- When oceanic- oceanic convergence take place, big events like volcanic activities, earthquakes, trenches and valleys forms.
- Some examples of oceanic convergence are the Aleutian islands, the Mariana’s islands.
- When two oceanic plates collides with each other the lighter one subducts under the denser one forming a subduction zone, where volcanoes and earthquakes like situations took place.
- These can be seen in countries like Japan where the world’s most volcanoes are found.
