Question
which process forms ridges and valleys?
○ folding, uplift, and erosion
○ exposed batholiths
○ volcanoes
○ oceanic-oceanic covergence
Folding of rock layers creates raised (anticlines) and lowered (synclines) structures. Uplift brings these folded layers to the surface, and erosion then wears away softer rock to deepen valleys and leave harder rock as ridges. Exposed batholiths form mountain cores, volcanoes build cone-shaped landforms, and oceanic-oceanic convergence creates ocean trenches and volcanic arcs, not typical ridges and valleys on continental crust.
