Question

which process forms ridges and valleys?

○ exposed batholiths

○ oceanic - oceanic covergence

○ folding, uplift, and erosion

○ volcanoes

Explanation:

• Exposed batholiths form large, dome - shaped structures, not ridges and valleys.
• Oceanic - oceanic convergence leads to volcanic arcs and trenches, not ridges and valleys.
• Volcanoes form conical or shield - shaped structures, not ridges and valleys.
• Folding creates anticlines (which can erode to form ridges) and synclines (which can erode to form valleys). Uplift raises the folded rock layers, and erosion then shapes them into the characteristic ridge - and - valley topography.

Answer:

folding, uplift, and erosion
