Which of the following would cause uplift along an ocean-continent convergent margin?
A) thinning of the lithosphere above the subduction zone
B) addition of magmas into the crust from the subduction zone
C) formation of a fold and thrust belt
D) all of these
Ocean-Continent Convergent Margin
A boundary between tectonic plates where an oceanic plate is subducting beneath a continental plate, leading to volcanic and seismic activity.
Fold and Thrust Belt
A series of mountainous folds and fault-driven compressions in the Earth's crust, typically found at convergent tectonic plate boundaries.
Magmas
Molten rock beneath or within the Earth's crust, from which igneous rocks are formed.
- Evaluate the impact of variations in crustal thickness on the development and height of mountain regions.
