Question

review it! select the statement(s) that accurately describe plate tectonics and convergent boundaries. convergent boundaries occur where two plates move toward each other. earths crust is made up of several major and minor tectonic plates. the movement of earths plates is caused by convection currents in the mantle. the himalayas were caused by the african plate and the eurasian plate colliding. mountain ranges can be formed when two continental plates collide.

Explanation:

1. Convergent boundaries occur when two plates move toward each other.
2. The Earth's crust is composed of major and minor tectonic plates.
3. The movement of Earth's plates is driven by convection currents in the mantle.
4. The Himalayas were formed by the collision of the Indian - Australian plate and the Eurasian plate, not the African plate.
5. Mountain ranges can be formed by the collision of two continental plates.

• Convergent boundaries occur where two plates move toward each other.
• Earth's crust is made up of several major and minor tectonic plates.
