<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

c) created when tectonic plates converge

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • According to the plate tectonics theory, earthquakes, volcanoes and mountain building process occur due to the interaction of the rigid plates on the earth's crust.
  • <u>Mountains are as a result of volcanoes which are created by the movement of plate tectonics, which erupt and form mountains.</u> Formation of these mountains is as a result of compression of sediments caused by the collision of two convergent plate boundaries.
  • It's along the convergent plate boundaries that interactions occur which creates volcanic activities and mountain building.

If the seafloor is spreading why isn't earth getting bigger?
tatyana61 [14]
Well there are areas of the seafloor that are spreading due to tectonic plates moving apart but there are also places where these plates meet and one slides under the other (subduction zones) as a result, the earth is not getting bigger since these two actions cancel each other out.<span>
