Answer:

Convergent (collision)

Step-by-step explanation:

Mountains are most often associated with convergent (collision) margins.

Convergent margins in which there is a collision occurs between two crusts that have nearly the same density. This is usually the case with continental - continental crust collision.

  • Along these margins, instead of subduction, a mountain-building process occurs.
  • As they collide with one another, they grind against one another and pull up.
  • This leads to the formation of mountains.
  • One very prominent example is the Himalayas.
