Question

plate tectonics: convergent boundaries
when continental - continental crusts collide, this results in the formation of mountain ranges, and one outstanding example is the himalayan mountains. these peaks are still rising today and hold a remarkable secret - fossils of ancient sea creatures! this discovery suggests that the area was once submerged under a much deeper ocean or sat at a lower elevation.
which of the following is an example of continent - continent convergence?
the andes mountains
the himalayan mountains
the san andreas fault

Explanation:

The text mentions that when continental - crusts converge, mountain ranges form and gives the Himalayan Mountains as an example of continent - continent convergence. The Andes are formed by oceanic - continental convergence and the San Andreas Fault is a transform boundary.

Answer:

B. The Himalayan Mountains
