Subduction is much less likely to occur when two continental plates
collide because
A. the plates are of equal density.
B. continental plates are so old.
C. continental plates are not subject to plate
tectonics.
D. in order for subduction to occur a volcano must

answer; i believe that the correct answer is (c) the jury;

a mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. this uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.a geomagnetic reversal is a change in a planet's magnetic field such that the positions of magnetic north and magnetic south are interchanged.
