During the process of mountain building

Geography
1 answer:
Fiesta28 [93]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A. material from the Earth's interior is often returned to the surface

Explanation:

The mountains are formed when there is two plates colliding, especially when it comes to two continental plates. Because none of the plates has the tendency to sink below the other plate, their collision creates enormous amount of pressure on the crust around the boundary.

That enormous pressure manages to push the crust upward, and slowly mountain ranges start to form as the crust gains on elevation. While this process goes on, lot of material that has been buried deep into the interior of the Earth for millions of years, starts to come out on the surface.

That makes up for lot of disturbance in the rock strata, and makes up fro interesting and unexpected things. A good example of this are the Himalayas, as there are oceanic sediments at the top parts of them, despite the mountains being more than 8,800 meters high.

Which of the layers listed below is not defined as a layer by composition? Select one: a. Lithosphere b. Crust c. Core O d. Mant
Hitman42 [59]

1. a. Lithosphere

If we divide the Earth into layers by their composition, then there are three of them, the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the thinnest layer, being on the top, and being solid. The mantle is the second layer, lying between the crust and the core. It is a layer where the temperature and pressure are higher, and the rocks are hot and slow-moving. The core is the bottom layer, in the center of the planet. It is the hottest and has the highest pressure, being the densest of the layers and is composed mostly of iron and in lesser percentage of nickel.

2. b. Crust

The Earth is divided into several layers depending on the layers being solid or liquid. There are five different physical layers, lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core and inner core. The lithosphere and the inner core are the two layers that are solid, thus the layer on top and the layer in the center. The asthenosphere, mesosphere, and outer core are all liquid, though it is a different degree of liquidity, and it is these three layers where the convection currents occur and cause the magnetic field of the Earth, as well as the tectonic movements.
