The map on the left shows the Andes mountain range in South America.

The map on the right shows the Himalayan mountain range in India.

The mountain ranges in these maps are evidence that

mountain ranges

• form at the border of two tectonic plates.

• form in the middle of a tectonic plate.

• exist on their own separate tectonic plates.

• represent the formation of new tectonic plates.
