What is so important about subduction of tectonic plates?(1 point) Responses Earth's crust is melted and destroyed here Earth's crust is melted and destroyed here Earth's new crust is created here Earth's new crust is created here Earth's mountains are formed here Earth's mountains are formed here Earth's crust becomes a mid-ocean ridge here Earth's crust becomes a mid-ocean ridge here
The correct answer would be: Earth's mountains are formed here. Subduction of tectonic plates is an important geological process where one tectonic plate moves beneath another plate and sinks into the Earth's mantle. This subduction process leads to the formation of mountains when the subducting plate pushes against the overlying plate, causing it to buckle and fold. This is commonly seen in areas where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another, such as in the formation of the Andes Mountains in South America.
