Answer 2

Answer:

Active continental margins are the most common convergent plate boundaries. They represent one class of subduction zones where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate. Since their tectonic activity commonly lasts tens of millions of years, they are the locus of continental growth and consumption.
