(8.9B) The photograph shows mountains in the Andes range in South America. Which statement describes the geologic process that is most likely responsible for the formation of these mountains?

They are along transform plate boundary in which plates are currently moving side by side causing earthquakes and faults.
They are along a plate boundary in which plates are currently converging, causing uplift and steep slopes.
They are along transform plate boundary that is no longer active, so erosion is creating deep valleys.
They are along a plate boundary in which plates diverged in the distant past allowing new rock to build up.

Q.
(8.9B) When tectonic plates move, rocks in the crust are pushed and pulled. If the rocks are unable to move, stress on the rocks builds up. This leads to an earthquake if the rocks-
