Answer:

Appalachian: A. Two continents colliding.

North American Cordillera: B. Terrane accretion

Aleutian plate: D. Oceanic convergence

Andes Mountain range: C. An oceanic plate and continental plate colliding.

Explanation:

Appalachian Mountains formed as a result of collision of two continental plate’s i.e North Africa & America. These two plates crashed into each other and then separated later on.  

In the accretion process, land mass start depositing over each other for a certain period of time to forma a large mountain. The North America Cordillera formed through this subsequent deposition after the initial collision between the Pacific and the North American plates

Aleutian plate were formed when one plate (oceanic) slide below the other plate (continental)

Andes were also formed by the collision between an oceanic plate and a continental plate where the oceanic plate sub ducts below the continental plate.

Appalachian: A. Two continents colliding.


The Appalachian mountain range is an ancient example of a collision between two continental plates. Both plates have low density and little subduction occurs between them.


North American Cordillera: B. Terrane accretion


These form when two continents that collided bonded so tight that it forms a permanent land mass. If the continents would pull away from each other, the terrane stays intact.


Aleutian plate: D. Oceanic convergence


This is a type of convergence where one plate subducts beneath another plate. Between the two, the older plate is usually the one that subducts because it is usually more dense.


Andes mountain range: C. An oceanic plate and continental plate colliding.


In the collision between an oceanic and continental plate, the thinner and more dense oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate. The Andes mountain range was formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South american Plate.

mariarad [96]
The answer to this question would be: c. is no more effective than any other available treatment.

Hypnosis is one of the treatments that suggested by many people. But the effectivity is highly varied in a different person, so it doesn't work same for every person. Some people even can't be hypnotized. It is hard to be validated so it has a high chance for someone to do fraud without known.
Nowadays, there is not enough evidence to support hypnosis to be used as <span>smoking </span>cessation.

Organisms that live in the _________ must be adapted to little or no rain and to extreme temperatures.
umka21 [38]

Answer: DESERT

Explanation:

Adaptation can be defined as the modification in the form, structure, function and behaviour of organisms in a habitat which enables them to live successfully and reproduce.

Desert is one of the types of the world biomes that is characterized with little or no rain and to extreme temperatures. Organisms, which includes plants and animals, must show some level of adaptation to able to survive the harsh environment.

The type of PLANTS which can survive in desert environment are called the XEROPHYTES. They show the following adaptations:

--> The roots are well developed: they grow down to great depths and branch extensively in order to absorb water

--> they possess swollen stems which contains water storage cells.

--> they have reduced leaves, for example in cacti in the form of spines, which helps to reduce water loss through transpiration.

The type of animal that survive in desert environment spend the hot dry seasons in a sleep-like torpid state called aestivation. This is so in order to avoid the heat. Their body size is usually small and less bulky: greater surface area in relation to body volume, thus enhancing heat loss from the body.

Organisms that live in the _________ must be adapted to little or no rain and to extreme temperatures.
