Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mountain belts can form by any or all of these processes: the accretion of terranes (pieces of land that have different origins), orogenesis (the process of mountain building through tectonic plate movement and collision), and the eruption of a continental volcanic arc (a chain of volcanic mountains formed above a subduction zone). Therefore, the best choice is D, all of the above.
