Question
question 3 which type of plate boundary is primarily associated with the creation of mountain ranges? transform boundary divergent boundary recessive boundary convergent boundary choose a response...
Convergent boundaries occur when two tectonic plates collide. When continental - continental plates converge, the crust is compressed and uplifted, forming mountain ranges. For example, the Himalayas were formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates. Transform boundaries are where plates slide past each other horizontally and are mainly associated with earthquakes. Divergent boundaries are where plates move apart, usually associated with mid - ocean ridges and new crust formation. Recessive boundary is not a standard type of tectonic plate boundary.
