Mountains are created when_________.
- Two oceanic plates pull apart
- An Oceanic plate subducts under a Continental Plate

- Two continental plates pull apart
The correct answer is: Two continental plates collide
Mountains are created when two continental plates collide.The boundaries of one or both colliding plates may bend up into mountain ranges as a result of the impactor one plate may bend down into a deep undersea trench.
