In the diagram below, tectonic plate movement has created a volcanic mountain range. Which of the following provides the best explanation as to why this happened?
A.) An oceanic plate collided with a continental plate. The more dense continental plate sank below the less dense oceanic plate causing magma to rise up through a weak spot in Earth's crust to create volcanic mountains.
B.) An oceanic plate collided with a continental plate. The more dense oceanic plate sank below the less dense continental plate causing magma to rise up through a weak spot in Earth's crust to create volcanic mountains.
C.) An oceanic plate collided with a continental plate, and neither plate subducted causing lava to rise up through a weak spot in Earth's crust to create volcanic mountains.
D.) An oceanic plate collided with a Continental plate, and both plates subducted causing lava to rise up through a weak spot in Earth's crust to create volcanic mountains.
