Question

What plate boundary forms a Mountain range

Answer 1

A mountain range is typically formed at convergent plate boundaries. At these boundaries, two tectonic plates move towards each other. When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the denser oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle in a process called subduction, leading to mountain formation. Conversely, when two continental plates collide, neither plate is subducted due to their buoyancy, resulting in the uplift of the crust and the formation of mountain ranges. The Himalayas, for example, were formed by the collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
