In Wegener's view, what caused mountain ranges to form?

A)volcanoes

B)Earth shrinking

C)meteorite impacts

D)continents colliding

Answer:

D)continents colliding

Step-by-step explanation:

Alfred Lothar Wegener was a brilliant geophysicist and meteorologist who was famous for his research and formulation of the hypothesis of continental drift.

He hypothesized that mountains formed as a result of the collision of two drifting continents, which causes it to crumble and fold. Wegener's theory was not accepted by the scientific community until more than fifty years later.
