Answer (2)

all these landforms can be found at collision zones. they depend on which type of collision, though. there are oceanic-oceanic collision, oceanic-continental collisions, and continental-oceanic collisions. oceanic plates are dense and small, and continental plates are massive, but heavy. i hope this answer helped you.

In collision zones, tectonic plate interactions can form mountain ranges and deep-ocean trenches. Specifically, a mountain range is formed when two continental plates collide, while deep-ocean trenches form when an oceanic plate is subducted under a continental plate. For this question, the correct answer is C. Mountain range.
