The correct answer is - D. A continental plate meets an oceanic plate and form a subduction zone.

When a continental and oceanic tectonic plates collide, the heavier, denser, oceanic plate starts to subduct under the lighter, less dense continental tectonic plate. From the place of subduction, the extreme temperature, pressure, and magma are able to push through to the surface. As they reach the surface they start to produce volcanic activity, and as the surface is lifting, the volcanoes emerge above the sea level, thus creating a chain of volcanic arc islands.

The Mississippi River watershed is bordered by the Appalachian Mountains to the east and the Rocky Mountains to the west. Why do
AVprozaik [17]

It is only logical that mountain ranges form natural watershed boundaries because <u>water </u><u>from </u><u>rain </u><u>and </u><u>melting snow </u><u>flow to the </u><u>river</u>s.

<h3>Sources of Water for rivers. </h3>
  • Rainfall and the resulting runoff.
  • Water from natural ice.

Both of these come down from mountains and will be impacted by gravity to keep flowing downwards. This then forms or contributes to rivers and explains why mountains are generally next to watersheds.

Komok [63]

Answer and Explanation :

An Industrial Society is mainly formed to care for a huge population and derives its mass production from the use of fossil fuels, artificial fertilizers and other aids that use technology at their heart.

The industrial model an excessive working structure that needs the support of natural resources, man power, genetically modified produce and a curious need to meets the needs of an over-populated and growing society. In simple terms, since the design of this society is based on mass production, there is no natural equilibrium maintained in terms of consumption. And hence an industrial society is inherently unsustainable due to the ever growing consumerism.
