Which of the following geologic processes would result in deeper marine (ocean) sediments (i.e., muds, which become potential shale petroleum source rocks) being deposited farther inland (more interior into the continent.

If you observed large scale mountains with numerous folds, which ancient tectonic boundary would you expect to find at that location?
