Question

read the passage and look at the picture.
the saharan atlas, a mountain range in northern africa, began to form millions of years ago as the eurasian plate and the african plate moved toward each other. as the plates collided, the continental crust was forced upward to form tall mountains.
along the sides of the mountains in the saharan atlas, there are riverbeds called wadis. wadis contain water only during wet seasons. the rest of the year, the river beds are dry.
complete the sentence.
the saharan atlas formed at a ______ boundary.
convergent
divergent
transform

Explanation:

Convergent plate boundaries occur when tectonic plates move toward each other. The passage states the Eurasian and African Plates collided (moved toward each other) to form the Saharan Atlas, 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 formation.

Answer:

convergent
