Anticline and syncline forms as a result of compressional stress. Thus, the correct option is A.

<h3>What is anticline ?</h3>

Folds known as anticlines occur when formerly horizontal strata have been folded upward and the two limbs deviate from the surface.

When rocks deform in a ductile way, they may bend or fold, and the resulting structures are known as folds, rather than shattering to produce faults or joints. Folds are caused by compressional or shear pressures operating over a long period of time. Such folds originate from rocks that we often consider brittle behaving ductilely when the strain rate is low and/or the temperature is high.

Suppose the North American plate is moving away from the Eurasian plate at a rate of 2 cm per year. The eastern-most point of No
Archy [21]

The correct answer is - 1,180 km.

North America and Europe move away from one another, though the two plates, the North American and Eurasian are merging together on the other side. Since the rate of moving away is 2 cm per year, and the current distance is 1,184 km between North America and Europe, the distance between them 200,000 years ago was 1,180 km.

To get to the result we only need to multiply the number of years with the annual movement

2 x 200,000 = 400,000

Than divide the result with 100,000, as that is how much cm are in one km

400,000 / 100,000 = 4

And we get 4 km, in this case 4 km less, thus the distance between the two, 200,000 years ago, was 1,180 km.

How does convection work and how does it move tectonic plates? *
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Convection is the process of warm fluids rising and cooler fluids sinking. Inside the Earth, convection is powered by heat mostly from the core. The slow circulation of rock in the mantle moves the tectonic plates at the surface.
