B)Mid-ocean ridges
C)Compressional mountains
D)Submarine trenches

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Compressional mountains, also known as Fold mountains, are formed when rock layers are folded and uplifted due to compressional forces. This process results in large quantities of preexisting sedimentary and crystalline rocks that have been faulted and contorted into a series of folds. The other options, fault block mountains, mid-ocean ridges, and submarine trenches, do not have the same characteristic of having preexisting sedimentary and crystalline rocks that have been folded and faulted.
