ocean trench mid-ocean ridge continental hot spot continental rift valley
I gave my students this multiple choice question: Which geologic feature most likely forms when an oceanic tectonic plate is slowly subducted beneath a continental tectonic plate?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- ocean trench
- mid-ocean ridge
- continental hot spot
- continental rift valley

Could you tell me which one is correct?
