Question

which type of crust is primarily associated with major mountain ranges?
question 11
oceanic crust
continental crust
transition crust
subducted crust

Explanation:

Major mountain ranges, like the Himalayas, are formed by the collision of continental plates. The continental crust is thicker and less dense compared to oceanic crust. When continental - continental plates collide, due to their similar densities, they buckle and push upwards, creating mountain ranges. Oceanic crust is thinner and denser and is more involved in subduction processes (subducted crust). Transition crust is a less common term and not primarily associated with major mountain - building.

Answer:

Continental crust
