Question

8 multiple choice 1 point the convergence of two continental plates would produce island arcs. rift valleys. folded mountains. trenches.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When two continental plates converge, neither is sub - ducted (since they are both less dense). Instead, they collide and push the crust upwards, causing folding and uplift. Island arcs are formed from ocean - ocean plate convergence (with subduction and volcanic activity). Rift valleys are formed by divergent (pulling apart) plate boundaries. Trenches are formed by ocean - ocean or ocean - continent subduction (where one plate is forced beneath another). Folded mountains are the result of continental - continental plate convergence.

Answer:

C. folded mountains.
