Question

Which landforms are created when tectonic plates collide and uplift the rocky material above the surface of Earth? Hotspots Mountains Ocean basins Plains

Answer 1

Mountains are created when the plates collide and uplift the rocky material.

Let's check the options one by one:

Hotspots- This ia false.

Hotspots are natural landforms that are not affected by plate collision, nor is created bytectonic movements.

Mountains-this is correct.

Under the sinking convection current of magma, the denser oceanic plate will subduct under the less dense continential plate,causing the uplift of the rocky materials of then continential plate, forming mountains. For example, the Himalayas is formed.

Ocean basins-This is false.

Although ocean basins are indeed created by the collision of plates, it is not created by the uplifting of rocks.

Plains- This is false.

Plains are created under erosion,causing the land to be lowered in a uniform height,creating flatland and therefore is not related to tectonic movements.

Therefore the answer is mountains.
