Question

question 8 of 32 the photograph shows the colorado plateau. what is one way a plateau can form? a. continental plates slip past each other at a transform boundary. b. magma rises at a divergent plate boundary. c. uplift raises the level of a piece of crust. d. tectonic movements make folds and faults in the crust.

Explanation:

A plateau is a flat - topped highland. It can form when a large piece of the Earth's crust is uplifted uniformly. Continental plates slipping past each other at a transform boundary causes earthquakes and fault lines, not plateau formation. Magma rising at a divergent plate boundary forms mid - ocean ridges or volcanic activity. Tectonic movements making folds and faults in the crust create mountain ranges and other complex geological features, not flat - topped plateaus. Uplift of a crustal piece can create a plateau.

Answer:

C. Uplift raises the level of a piece of crust.
