Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Continents are formed by the collision of two tectonic plates along convergent boundaries. The collision causes uplift and folding of the crust, resulting in the formation of mountain ranges. Transform boundaries are where two plates slide past each other and divergent boundaries are where two plates move away from each other. Decorticate is not a term used in geology.
