Question

which of the following is an example of continent-continent convergence? the san andreas fault the andes mountains the himalayan mountains

Explanation:

To determine the example of continent - continent convergence, we analyze each option:

• The San Andreas Fault is a transform fault (where two plates slide past each other), not a convergent boundary.
• The Andes Mountains are formed by the subduction of an oceanic plate (Nazca Plate) beneath a continental plate (South American Plate), which is ocean - continent convergence.
• The Himalayan Mountains are formed by the collision of the Indian continental plate and the Eurasian continental plate, which is a classic example of continent - continent convergence.

Answer:

C. The Himalayan Mountains
