Question

examine the image to complete the sentence below:
when a(n) continental plate collides with a(n) continental plate, they typically form a select (options: volcano, plateau, folded mountain)

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When two continental tectonic plates collide, neither can be subducted (as they have similar low density). The crust is compressed, crumpled, and uplifted to form folded mountain ranges, which matches the folded, uplifted rock formation shown in the image. Volcanoes typically form at oceanic-continental or oceanic-oceanic plate boundaries, and plateaus form from different geological processes like magma uplift or erosion, not direct continental-continental collision.

Answer:

When a(n) Continental plate collides with a(n) Continental plate, they typically form a Folded Mountain
