The effect of a descending convection current can be linked with what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Subduction of one plate beneath another at a convergent plate boundary

In a descending convection current, relatively cooler and denser mantle material moves downward. This can draw lithospheric plates towards each other, producing a convergent boundary. At such a boundary, one plate sinks beneath another; this process is called subduction. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B is linked with rising convection currents, which help create new oceanic crust at divergent boundaries. Exam tip: remember descending currents with convergence and subduction.
