Question

select the correct answer. at which boundary does subduction stop occurring, resulting in a mountain range? a. oceanic - oceanic convergent boundary b. oceanic - oceanic divergent boundary c. continental - continental convergent boundary d. continental - continental divergent boundary

Explanation:

At a continental - continental convergent boundary, neither plate is dense enough to subduct. Instead, the crust is pushed up, leading to the formation of mountain ranges. In oceanic - oceanic convergent boundaries, subduction occurs as one oceanic plate is denser and sinks beneath the other. Divergent boundaries are associated with the creation of new crust rather than mountain - building through subduction cessation.

Answer:

C. continental - continental convergent boundary
