KengaRu [80]
The correct answer is B Subduction. Subduction is the process by which an oceanic plate gets dragged under another plate and is eventually destroyed in the mantle. Subduction occurs at convergent margins where two oceanic plates collide or an oceanic and Continental plate collide. Oceanic crust is made of mainly of silica and magnesium which is heavier or denser than continental crust which is composed mainly of silica and aluminium.
The subducting plate melts producing excess magma giving rise to volcanoes along these margins.

Which type of mountain forms because of divergent plate boundary?
hjlf
In divergent boundaries, plates move away from one another, often causing volcanic activity. The cooled magma is able to form islands such as the ones on the Aleutian archipelago.

*I don't think any of these are actual types of mountains. <em>Arc contient </em>and <em>Andean</em> aren't even real things.

As for your second question:
There are two main types of rocks in the Earth's crust.
Granite is less dense and rises higher, usually above land in continental crust.
Basalt is denser and so it will sink lower and form oceanic crust.
However, there is a layer of sediment on top of that crust. (sand, gravel, etc.)
