Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following features is likely to form where two tectonic plates push toward each other?
A
ocean shoreline
B
mountain range
C
mid-ocean ridge
D
rift valley
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Volcanoes are one kind of feature that forms along convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide and one moves beneath the other.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mid ocean ridge rift valley would make sense because of the diverging plate boundary and the fact that it is a valley.

Detailed explanation-3: -A divergent plate boundary often forms a mountain chain known as a ridge. This feature forms as magma escapes into the space between the spreading tectonic plates.

Detailed explanation-4: -When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary. The impact of the colliding plates can cause the edges of one or both plates to buckle up into a mountain ranges or one of the plates may bend down into a deep seafloor trench.

Detailed explanation-5: -Divergent boundaries. Divergent boundaries occur along spreading centers where plates are moving apart and new crust is created by magma pushing up from the mantle.
