As the two plates collide,the denserr oceanic plate will subduct under the less dense continential plate, causing the continential plate to arch up and form a mountain range.
Let's look into it one by one:
A. An underwater mountain range will will run along the boundary on the oceanic plate. - This is false.
As the oceanic plate subducts under the continential plate, there is no chance for the denser material to accumulate while subducting. What would be find instead is ocean trench.
B. A mountain range will form in the middle of the continental plate. - This is false.
Although pressure will be applied and there would be stress accumulating on the continential plate, the middle is very unlikely to be affected.
C. A mountain range will run along the boundary on the continental plate. - This is true.
As the subduction happens, the continential plate will accumulate as it is less dense. The rock would fold up to form mountain ranges. For example, Rockies is one off the mountain range along the plate.
D. A chain of islands will form along the boundary of the oceanic plate. - This is false.
Similarly to A. it is not possible for the plate to accumulate when it slides under the other plate.
Therefore the answer is C. A mountain range will run along the boundary on the continental plate.

Answer:
European settlers and Americans transformed the Great Plains from natural grassland to fields of corn.
Explanation:
The Great Plains are a vast portion of prairies with just a few trees. When worked correctly, it can be transformed into great fields for agriculture.
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. All spheres of earth are interrelated or interdependent. This means <span> an impact to one sphere usually affects another one cannot exist without the other. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
Cays- they are formed when ocean currents transport loose sediments across a surface of a reef to a despositional node
