Question

according to the passage, what geological feature is formed when two continental plates collide? answer: a. volcanic arcs b. mid - ocean ridges c ocean trenches d. mountain ranges question: according to the passage, what process occurs at mid - ocean ridges? answer explain:

Explanation:

When two continental plates collide, due to their similar densities, neither plate is sub - ducted. Instead, the crust is pushed up and folded, forming mountain ranges. Volcanic arcs form at subduction zones involving an oceanic plate and a continental plate or two oceanic plates. Mid - ocean ridges are formed by seafloor spreading at divergent plate boundaries. Ocean trenches are formed at subduction zones where an oceanic plate is forced beneath another plate.

Answer:

D. Mountain ranges
