<u>Answer:</u>

When two plates push against each other, the pressure makes the crust bend to form mountains.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • When a tectonic plate moves towards the other, or two tectonic plates approach each other, there is a convergent action.
  • This action brings two usual possibilities based on the strength and density of the plates.
  • If the two plates are equally dense and are exerting equal pressure on each other, then there is an uplift action of landmasses on both the sides which causes the formation of a mountain.
  • If one of the plates is less dense, it undergoes subduction and moves below the heavier plate causing the other plate to rise to form a mountain.

Rzqust [24]

The correct answer is - A. Mountains in Iraq and Oman.

The pressure created from the Arabian Plate pushing towards the Eurasian Plate has lifted the terrain at some parts, most notably at the territory of Iraq and Oman. The most noticeable mountains in here are the Zagros Mountains in Iraq. These mountains are of great significance for the Kurdish population that considers them as sacred mountains. The pressure also affects the terrain in Iran where the Iranian Plateau is created.
