A. transform boundaries B. divergent boundaries C. convergent boundaries Feedback:2 Plate Tectonics Question 8 of 25 4.0/ 4.0 Points Ocean-to-continent convergent boundaries can produce all but which of the following? A. volcanoes B. mountains C. new sea-floor Feedback:2 Plate Tectonics Question 9 of 25 4.0/ 4.0 Points Which of the following is the most accurate statement of how the Himalayas were formed? A. They are actually the original elevation of the continent. As the erosion weathered away to give the current surface, it left the mountains behind. B. During the last great flood, sediments were deposited that accumulated and were eventually eroded into mountains. C. As the Indian plate moved into the Eurasian plate, the continents collided and buckled up to form mountains.
