Question

When two equally dense plates collide, neither will subduct. Rather, they will uplift and form mountains on a _________________________boundary.

A. convergent
B. divergent
C. transform

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A. "convergent".

Step-by-step explanation:

The phenomenon known as Continent-Continent Convergence, occurs when two plates that are equally dense collide, causing the compression, folding and lifting of both plates. Mountains are formed as consequence of this uplifting phenomena. The Himalayas formation between the Indian-Australian and Eurasian plates is the most spectacular example of Continent-Continent Convergence.
