B. Divergent
C. Oceanic
D. Transform

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{red}{pink}{Answer}}$

These plates are bumping into each other (convergent boundary) and this process forms the highest mountain ranges on Earth, the Himalayas. Find Iceland and notice all the volcanoes there. The volcanoes are due to the North American and Eurasian plates spreading apart (divergent boundary).

Answer 2

The highest mountain form at which type of plate boundary is (A) Convergent boundary.

Explanation:

• When two or more lithospheric plates clash on Earth, it forms a convergent boundary. The process of subduction occurs when one plate travels beneath the other. The subduction zone can be identified by a plane where multiple earthquakes occur.
• The type of convergent border isn't the only thing to think about. Based on the current state of the globe, continental-continental collisions are likely to produce the highest mountains. And they're the planet's most dramatic tectonic clashes, resulting in the Himalayas, which stand over 2,000 meters taller than any other peak.
• The India-Asia collision, on the other hand, was not just any collision; it was the most spectacular collision in decades, with convergence rates of 16 cm/year, much above any previously recorded rate.
