I'd be happy to help with that question! The geological event that occurs on a very large time scale is: B) Mountains forming as a result of colliding plates. Here's why: 1. When tectonic plates collide, immense pressure and force are exerted over millions of years. 2. This pressure leads to the formation of mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas, Rockies, or Andes, which are the result of slow but powerful geological forces at work. 3. Mountain-building processes like this take place over tens of millions of years, making them events that unfold on a very large time scale. Therefore, the correct answer is B) Mountains forming as a result of colliding plates.
