Question

The formation of extensive plateaus is a result of which type of movements?

Options

• Mountain-building

• Continent-building

• Horizontal

Answer 1

Continent-building

Explanation:

Slow movements occur towards the centre or from the earth’s centre towards the earth’s crust. Because of these movements, a vast part of the earth’s crust is uplifted or gets subsided. When the part of the earth’s crust is uplifted (above the mean sea level,) continents are formed. Therefore, these movements are called continent-building movements.
