Question

millions of years ago, the eurasian plate and the african plate began to move toward each other, eventually colliding. this plate motion formed many mountain ranges, including the western alps. the western alps run through european countries, including france, italy, and switzerland.
complete the sentence.
the western alps formed at a ______ boundary.
convergent
divergent
transform

Explanation:

Convergent plate boundaries form when tectonic plates move toward and collide with each other. The text states the Eurasian and African Plates moved toward each other and collided to form the Western Alps, which matches the definition of a convergent boundary. Divergent boundaries involve plates moving apart, and transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other, neither of which fits the described plate motion.

Answer:

convergent
