Plate Tectonics and Topographic Maps Test (IGNITE/ACC)
The picture below shows the Andes mountains range in South America.
Which statement below describes the geologic process (natural process on Earth) that is responsible for
forming these mountains?
• They are along a transform plate boundary that is no longer active, so erosion is creating deep valleys.
They are along a plate boundary in which plates are currently converging, causing uplift and steep
slopes.
They are along a plate boundary in which plates diverged in the distant past. allowing new rock to build
up
They are along a transform plate boundary in which plates are ourrently moving side by side, causing
earthquakes and faults.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Contraction of crust occurs at the 'Subduction Zones,' where two tectonic plates converge, and the heavier vessel sinks below, the lighter scale, into the Mantle. There are three types of convergent plate boundaries, Continent‐Continent Boundaries, Ocean‐Continent Boundaries, Ocean‐Ocean Boundaries.
