Question

oceanic-oceanic convergence.

continent-continent convergence, occurs when two less dense continental crusts collide. this results in the formation of mountain ranges, and one outstanding example is the himalayan mountains. these peaks are still rising today and hold a remarkable secret - fossils of ancient sea creatures! this discovery suggests that the area was once submerged under a much deeper ocean or sat at a lower elevation.

which of the following is an example of continent-continent convergence?

the himalayan mountains

the andes mountains

the san andreas fault

Explanation:

The text explicitly states that "one outstanding example is the Himalayan Mountains" in the context of continent - continent convergence. The Andes Mountains are formed by oceanic - continental convergence (where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate). The San Andreas Fault is a transform boundary, not a convergent boundary (continent - continent or otherwise).

Answer:

The Himalayan Mountains
