Features that are formed when oceanic plates converge are correct.  Earthquakes, Mountains & Volcanoes

Explanation:

When two tectonic plates collide this is called a convergent boundary. One tectonic plate, usually the oceanic plate, is denser than the other tectonic plate, usually the continental plate. Therefore the oceanic plate gets subducted under the continental plate. Due to the enormous stress between the plates as they slide over one another, the region is prone to high magnitude earthquakes. This stress also causes fissures to form along the boundary on the overlying tectonic plate and the two plates to warp downwards forming a oceanic trench.

As the subducted plate ‘dives’ into the mantle, it melts and the magma rises through the fissures with great pressure. At the surface, the magma erupts violently forming volcanic mountains. Because several volcanic mountains will form at fissures along the boundary a volcanic arc is a signature feature of a convergent boundary.
