Question

Volcanic activities are common in which of the following?

Options

• Young fold mountains

• Old fold mountains

• Residual mountains

• Volcanic plateaus

Answer 1

Young fold mountains

Explanation:

Volcanic activities are most common in young fold mountains because these mountains are often formed by tectonic plate collisions, which lead to subduction zones and mantle convection, both of which are associated with intense volcanic activity. The Ring of Fire, for example, is a major zone of volcanic activity surrounding the Pacific Ocean and is often found along young fold mountain ranges like the Himalayas and the Andes.
