Answer:

C) They are along a plate boundary in which plates are currently converging, causing uplift and steep slopes.

Explanation:

The Andean Mountain Range is by far the longest and highest mountain range in South America, and one of the largest in the world as well. Its formation is due to the convergent plate boundary between the South American plate and the Nazca plate. The Nazca plate is an oceanic plate, while the South American plate is a continental plate. The Nazca plate subducts bellow the South American plate, causing uplift in the area near the subduction zone. This has resulted in lifting up of the land, slowly creating the steep and very high Andes. The plate boundary is still active in the same way, so the process still continues.

How do volcanic eruptions at divergent boundaries affect deep ocean currents?
o-na [289]
The speed and violence of the tectonic processes are different.

Divergence is slower and somewhat gentler, and there is less restricting pressure to oppose the upwelling magma (Water may be heavy, but it IS fluid.) The fluidity and cold temperature of the ocean absorb and dissipate the violence of forcing magma out of the mantle and the encounter between great heat and cold waters.

Convergence may combine tectonic movement from multiple vectors, different types of plates may force an oceanic plate under a continental plate and the collision speed will determine the subduction angle and depth. The ejection of material from great depth, through an overriding solid plate, requires great force and pressure. Where hot material encounters underground waters, resultant steam may be superheated and compressed.

Note, however, that volcanic eruptions resulting from deep underwater hot spots may be the most violent of all such events, belying the question’s premise.

Hope this helps :)
