The largest mountains on the continents are formed by stress deformation.
This is also know as strain, which is a process that occurs when the intensity of the stress is greater then the internal strength of the rock. This kind of activity, forming of mountains, occurs when to tectonic continental plates with same densities are colliding, so under the pressure, stress, they create, the area of collision is lifting up.
Answer: oceanic-oceanic lithosphere, continental oceanic lithosphere and continental continental lithosphere.
Explanation: hope this helps!
Metamorphism of pre-existing sedimentary or igneous rocks occurs by heat from nearby magma called an igneous intrusion.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
Contact metamorphism occurs when the hot igneous rock thrusts into some some other rock which exists previously. Then the pre-existing rock is baked by heat and during this process no additional pressure is added and this leads to the change in the mineral structure of the rock. Contact metamorphism is occurred only with heat and not by adding any additional pressure on the rock.
