Explain how studying mountain ranges can help scientists learn more about plate tectonics and continental drift. Because plate tectonics are what a mountain is caused by. Continental drift would tell you how it moved. Continents also cause mountain ranges to form. Describe how volcanoes form at subduction zones. Because two plates collide and one goes under and then they push upwared to make a volcano.
