Question
which type of plate boundary is most likely to create mountains? (1 point)
divergent boundary
transform boundary
convergent boundary
subduction zone
in the rock cycle, what process creates sedimentary rocks? (1 point)
cooling of magma
metamorphism
compaction and cementation
melting
Brief Explanations
- At convergent boundaries, two tectonic plates move towards each other. The collision can cause the crust to buckle and fold, leading to the formation of mountain - ranges. For example, the Himalayas formed due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates at a convergent boundary.
- Sedimentary rocks are formed through the compaction and cementation of sediments. Sediments are small particles like sand, silt, and clay that are deposited in layers. Over time, the weight of the overlying layers compresses the sediments, and minerals precipitate out of water to cement the particles together.
