What plate boundary forms arcs of volcanoes and deep-ocean trenches?
A convergent plate boundary where subduction occurs.
A mid-ocean ridge forms at what type of plate boundary?
A mid-ocean ridge forms at the divergent plate boundary. This boundary initially forms rifts that later on become rift valleys.
