Question

identifying evidence from land
mountain ranges often appear on the edges of continer
mountains were formed when earth’s crust cooled
mountain ranges were formed when continents coll
mountain ranges did not exist millions of years ago
mountain ranges were formed only by glaciers.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option's claim about Earth's crust cooling forming mountains is incorrect for most major mountain ranges (they form from tectonic activity like continental collisions).
• The second option (assuming it's "Mountain ranges were formed when continents collided") aligns with the theory of plate tectonics, where continental - continental convergence leads to mountain building (e.g., Himalayas from India - Eurasia collision).
• The third option is wrong as mountain ranges have existed for millions of years (e.g., ancient mountain ranges like the Appalachians).
• The fourth option is wrong as glaciers mainly erode and shape mountains, not form them (mountain formation is due to tectonic forces).

Answer:

Mountain ranges were formed when continents coll (assuming the full option is "Mountain ranges were formed when continents collided")
