Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Continental-continental convergent plate boundaries result in the formation of uplifted mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas. Hot spots are not related to plate boundaries and mid-ocean ridges occur at divergent plate boundaries. Volcanic island arcs are formed at subduction zones where oceanic crust is being forced under continental crust.
