Question

1. what type of plate boundary causes mountains to form by uplift? transform between two continental plates convergent of two continental plates divergent between two continental plates convergent of one oceanic and one continental plate

Explanation:

• Transform boundaries involve sliding past each other, not uplift.
• Divergent boundaries pull apart, creating rifts, not uplift - formed mountains.
• When one oceanic and one continental plate converge, subduction (oceanic plate going under) occurs, not major continental - scale uplift for mountain building.
• Convergent boundaries of two continental plates (e.g., India - Eurasia collision forming the Himalayas) cause uplift as neither subducts easily, leading to mountain formation.

Answer:

convergent of two continental plates
