Question

multiple - choice question
what will form when two continental plates collide?
trenches
volcanoes
mountains
rewatch

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When two continental plates collide, neither is sub - ducted (as they are both less dense). Instead, they crumple and fold upwards. Trenches form at sub - duction zones (e.g., oceanic - continental collision). Volcanoes are more common at oceanic - continental or oceanic - oceanic sub - duction zones where magma is generated from the sub - ducted plate. Mountains, like the Himalayas (formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian continental plates), are formed by the compression and uplift of continental crust during continental - continental collision.

Answer:

mountains
