Question

The map of the world is overlaid with the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Look at the location marked with an asterisk (*). What geologic feature would expect to find at that location and why?

Answer 1

C) mountains; two continental plates meet at a convergent boundary.

I'm taking the test.

Answer 2

The asterisk marks the boundary between the Eurasian plate and the Arabian plate. The appropriate answer is C. Mountains; two continental plates meet at a convergent boundary.When two continental plates meet, Subduction does not take place as both plates are relatively buoyant. Both plates are instead folded and faulted upwards to create fold mountains.
