Question
in wegener’s view, what caused mountain ranges to form?
○ volcanoes
○ earth shrinking
○ meteorite impacts
○ continents colliding
Wegener's theory of continental drift proposed that mountain ranges form when continents collide. Volcanoes form mountains but not major mountain ranges in his view. Earth shrinking was an old, discredited idea. Meteorite impacts aren't related to his view on mountain range formation. So the correct reason is continents colliding.
