Question

Which description explains how uplift can form mountain ranges?

O A. Wind and water carve rock layers and valleys that leaves some rock layers higher over thousands of years.
O B. Lava from underground volcanoes flows through a surface opening in the crust and cools over hundreds of years.
O c Earthquakes cause large blocks of rocks to fall below the ridges of higher surrounding rock layers over tens of years.
Oo. Forces in the crust push toward each other and cause a section of rock to rise above the surrounding rock over millions of years

Answer 1

Answer: d. Forces in the crust push toward each other and cause a section of rock to rise above the surrounding rock over millions of years

Explanation:

Uplift refers to when the earth's crust is forced to rise above the surrounding area due to pressure from underneath (sometimes this pressure can be from above). It is usually the result of forces of compression pulling plates together.

As these plates collide with one another over millions of years, the rock at the collision boundary is forced to rise above the surrounding rock thereby resulting in an uplift.
