The Rocky Mountain system stretching from Canada to New Mexico is a string of mountains running along the western United States. What factors would most likely cause this arrangement of mountains? Intense pressure underneath a tectonic plate that could not break through the rock
Subduction of a tectonic plate, which pushed up a neighboring plate into mountains
Two plates located at a diverging boundary with a third plate rising between them
Two plates that melted into molten rock, which later cooled into the shape of mountains
