Identify the correct answer : The plate Tectonic theory advocates the formation of : relict mountain / fold mountain / volcanic mountain / block mountain

Answer

Fold mountain

Explanation:

The Plate Tectonic Theory advocates that fold mountains are formed by the collision of two tectonic plates. When two continental plates converge, neither is dense enough to be subducted (forced under) the other, so they are both compressed and uplifted, forming a mountain range.
