Microcontinental fragments, island arcs, oceanic plateaus and volcanic island chains plus intervening packages of sediments are all commonly accreted in ocean-continent margin settings.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ocean-continent margin settings are well-known sites of accretion where various types of materials, such as microcontinental fragments, island arcs, oceanic plateaus, and volcanic island chains, are added to the continental margin by tectonic processes. These materials are often associated with sedimentary packages that accumulate between collision zones or along subduction zones. Therefore, the statement is true.
