The Himalayas are a mountain range that was formed by a continental-continental convergent.

Further Explanation:

Continental-Continental Convergent is a kind of boundary that occurs when two continental plates collide and create mountain ranges. Colliding icebergs develop resistance in the downward motion and move in an upward direction. This resistance also occurs in the collision of continental plates instead of moving in the downward direction; they move in an upward direction. The Tibetan plateau and Himalayan mountain range have formed due to the collision between the Eurasian plates and Indian plates, which start fifty million ago and can be seen today also.

The Himalayas are great mountains of the Asia that forms a barrier between the alluvial of India subcontinent of south and plateau of Tibet to northern regions. They are the highest mountain in all over the world. They are still continuously rising almost 1 cm per year as India continues to move northwards into Asia that explains the incidence of the shallow-focus earthquake.

The Cascade Mountain Range is a line of volcanoes above the melting oceanic plate. The Andes Mountain Range of western South America is another example of aconvergent boundary between an oceanic and continental plate. Here the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American plate.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the instructions for making proteins. Like DNA, proteins are polymers: long chains assembled from prefab molecular units, which, in the case of proteins, are amino acids. A large molecular machine* called the ribosome translates the mRNA code and assembles the proteins.

lianna [129]

Answer:

The neurons are unable to repolarize.

Explanation:

The cell membrane potential remain negative at the resting membrane potential. The potassium channels maintains the negative voltage inside the cell and makes the cell stable at resting membrane potential.

The scorpion agitoxin affects the potassium channels, the depolarize cell remains in the depolarize state because potassium channels are inhibited. The cells are unable to repolarize as the potassium channels are unable to enter in the cells.
