GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Convergent Boundaries Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth, may be a tiny bit taller tomorrow than it is today. These convergent boundaries also occur where a plate of ocean dives, in a process called subduction, under a landmass. As the overlying plate lifts up, it also forms mountain ranges.

Detailed explanation-2: -Uplift refers to the rising of portions of the Earth’s surface while sinking of land refers to the downward shift of portions of Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -uplift, in geology, vertical elevation of the Earth’s surface in response to natural causes. Broad, relatively slow and gentle uplift is termed warping, or epeirogeny, in contrast to the more concentrated and severe orogeny, the uplift associated with earthquakes and mountain building.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some mountains form when oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere collide at convergent plate boundaries. In this type of collision, the oceanic lithosphere subducts beneath the continental lithosphere, producing large-scale deformation which uplifts high mountains.
