A science teacher shows his students an image of a volcanic mountain range and informs them it was created by the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates. He asks his students to explain how this occurred. Which student’s explanation is best?

Student A

An oceanic plate converged with an oceanic plate. Both plates subducted, forcing lava upward towards the surface of the Earth causing a volcanic eruption which created the mountains.

Student B

A continental plate converged with a continental plate. Neither plate subducted so lava was forced upward towards the surface of the Earth causing a volcanic eruption which created the mountains.

Student C

An oceanic plate converged 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.

Student D

An oceanic plate converged 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.
