Question
- what is the relationship between plates and mountains? a. mountains form where plates spread apart b. mountains form where plates come together c. mountains only form in the middle of plates d. mountains have no relation to plate movement what type of plate boundary was shown in hawaii? a. convergent boundary b. transform boundary c. sliding boundary d. divergent boundary
Mountains often form at convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and push up against each other. Hawaii is formed by a hotspot beneath a moving tectonic plate, not at a traditional plate - boundary. But if we consider the general options for plate boundaries near Hawaii - like the Pacific Plate movement, it is far from convergent, transform (like the San Andreas Fault), or divergent boundaries. However, the first question about mountains: mountains form where plates come together. For the second question, Hawaii is not associated with these common plate - boundary types in a straightforward way, but among the options, none of the others are correct for Hawaii's formation mechanism.

- b. Mountains form where plates come together
- None of the above (since Hawaii is formed by a hotspot, not by these typical plate - boundary processes)
