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.
Hope it helps!
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. I think the statement "<span>Deep within the jungles of mexico and guatemala lie most of the mayan ruins." is true.
</span><span>The Maya ruins of Belize include a number of well-known and historically important pre-Columbian Maya archaeological sites.</span>
Answer/Explanation:
Answer choices are not given from which we can choose the pair of angles that are not an example of adjacent angles.
However, let's state all pairs of adjacent angles we have in the given figure above.
First, recall the definition of adjacent angles: 1. Adjacent angles do not overlap
2. They share the same vertex/corner
3. They share the same side
From the figure given, the pairs of adjacent angles that satisfies this definition are:
<LJF and <LJH (they share vertex J and side LJ)
<GHJ and <GHK (they share vertex H and side GH)
<MKH and <MKI (they share vertex K and side MK)
Any given angle pair in the answer choices that is not one of the above stated angle pairs is NOT an example of adjacent angles.
