How mountains are formed?

This diagram shows a landform on Earth. How did the movement of Earth’s plates form the landform?

• Two oceanic plates slid past each other.

• Two continental plates collided.

• One continental plate slid past an oceanic plate.

• One continental plate subducted beneath an oceanic plate.

When convergent plates collide, if both plates are pushed upward, this forms.

• fissures

• volcanoes

• Mountain ranges

• rock cycle

What land form is an opening in the earth's surface from which lava flows?

• mountain

• canyon

• volcano
