QUESTION IMAGE
Question
study the image
which feature forms at this plate boundary?
○ mountains
○ rift valleys
○ volcanoes
○ island chains
image of plate boundary with continental crust, lithosphere, asthenosphere and arrows indicating plate movement towards each other, forming mountains
The image shows two continental crusts (plates) moving towards each other (convergent boundary for continental - continental plates). When two continental plates collide, they crumple and fold, forming mountains. Rift valleys form at divergent boundaries (plates moving apart), volcanoes and island chains are more associated with oceanic - continental or oceanic - oceanic convergent boundaries. So the feature formed here is mountains.
