Answer:
Shale.
Explanation:
It is composed of silt or clay that has been compacted or squeezed together to form a solid rock.
We would be looking for a rather small country with a relatively population. It would also probably not include land that is relatively uninhabitable: mountains or jungle or deserts.
The correct answer is: Ecuador. Its population is 16 million and the population density is 55 people per square kilometer.
The answer is C. Earth's tilt and orbit. Hope I helped!
Answer:
Tectonic Activities in the plates are responsible for the sharp shape of Earth's mountain.
Explanation:
Mountains on the earth are form because of the tectonic activities. Basically FOLD MOUNTAINS are more sharp because they are young and less eroded.
Fold mountains form when two tectonic plates collide with each other, both the plates are light in weight so no plate is ready to go downward, But because of speed and density difference one plate ob duct( obduction is word used for the submergence of continental plate as subduction in case of oceanic plates.). And the plate which is under pushes the upper plate which gives extra push to the mountains formation and result as a sharp peak mountains.
EX:- Himalaya, Andes.
And No such tectonic process takes place on the moon so mountains on moon are once formed and now they are eroding.
Answer:
convergence between a continental plate and an oceanic plate
Explanation:
The Andean Mountain Range has been formed because of volcanic activity. This has happened because of a convergent plate boundary between two plates.
More specifically, the convergent plate boundary is between the continental South American plate and the oceanic Nazca plate. The Nazca plate is lower, denser, heavier, and it is moving below the South American plate, creating a subduction zone.
Where the boundary is between the two plates, the mantle manages to push through magma upwards through the cracks in the crust. This magma managed to get to the surface, lift up the land and create volcanoes, creating a continental volcanic arc parallel to the plate boundary, over time becoming the enormous Andean Mountain Range.
