Match the mountain range with its formation. 1. appalachian 2. north american cordillera 3. aleutian 4. andes a. two continents colliding b. terrane accretion c. an oceanic plate and continental plate colliding d. oceanic convergence

THIS IS THE BEST ANSWER 👇

Appalachian: A. Two continents colliding.

North American Cordillera: B. Terrane accrual

Aleutian Plate: D. Oceanic convergence

Andes mountain range: C. Colliding oceanic plate and continental plate.

Explanation:

Appalachian Mountains formed as a result of a collision of two continental plates ie North Africa and America. These two plates collided and then later separated.

In the process of accretion, a mass of land begins to accumulate over a period of time to form a large mountain. Cordillera formed North America through this subsequent deposition after the initial collision between the Pacific and North American plates

An Aleutian plate is created when one plate (oceanic) slides below the other plate (continental)

Andes was also formed by the collision between an oceanic plate and a continental plate in which the oceanic plate makes a duct below the continental plate.
