Answer:
Oceanic-oceanic convergence
As with oceanic-continental convergence, when two oceanic plates converge, one is usually subducted under the other, and in the process a trench is formed. ... The descending plate also provides a source of stress as the two plates interact, leading to frequent moderate to strong earthquakes.

Explanation:
- When two oceanic plates converge, as with oceanic-continental convergence, one is frequently subducted beneath the other, forming a trench. As the two plates collide, the descending plate creates a source of stress, resulting in regular moderate to large earthquakes.
- A continent may collide with the oceanic crust. Subduction occurs because the oceanic plate is denser. The oceanic plate is sinking beneath the continent as a result of this. This takes place in an ocean trench.
