What processes associated with mountain and basin formation may accompany ocean-continent convergence?

All of these processes can accompany ocean-continent convergence. An oceanic trench forms at the subduction zone, a fold and thrust belt is created due to compression of the continental margin, a foreland basin can develop adjacent to the fold and thrust belt, and the crust can thicken due to both compression and the addition of volcanic rock from volcanic activity associated with the subduction zone.
