B. folding, uplift, and erosion
This process is responsible for forming mountains and creating ridges and valleys as tectonic forces cause the Earth's crust to deform, leading to the uplift of certain areas and erosion of others.
Which process forms ridges and valleys?
A. exposed batholiths
B. folding, uplift, and erosion
C. oceanic-oceanic covergence
D. volcanoes

A. a fault
A fault is a displacement between two bodies of rock, where they have moved relative to each other, often along a fracture in the Earth's crust.
What does an oceanic-oceanic convergence give rise to?
A. valleys and ridges
B. volcanic island arcs
C. folded mountains
D. continental volcanic mountains
A. valleys and ridges
B. volcanic island arcs
C. folded mountains
D. continental volcanic mountains
B. volcanic island arcs
Oceanic-oceanic convergence occurs when two oceanic plates collide, causing one plate to be subducted underneath the other. This process can lead to the formation of volcanic island arcs.
