Accepted Answer

Subduction zones are associated with convergent boundaries.option C is the correct answer.What is subduction zone?Subduction zones are plate tectonic boundaries where two plates converge or meet together, and one plate is pushed below the other plate due to underlying forces. The following are characteristics of subduction zones;In a subduction zone, at least one of the converging plates must be cold and dense. The more dense plate is usually the older oceanic plate.One plate must bend and move beneath the other plate. That is one plate must be on top while the other plate must be below.Convection currents, or cycling, in the mantle, must be moving downwards, pulling on the denser plate.Subduction zones is usually associated with some geo-hazards, such as; earthquakes and volcanoesThus, we can conclude that the main feature or characteristics of subduction zones is convergent boundaries resulting from the convergent plates.Learn more about subduction zones here: https://brainly.com/question/3239204#SPJ1
