Th answer you are looking for is physical weathering
A continental volcanic arc created due to the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate has lead to the formation of the Andes mountains and Cotopaxi Volcano.
Option B
<u>Explanation</u>:
Mountains and volcano are mainly created due to the movement of plate depending on type of plate when plates of converging nature the for folds which make them create mountainous topography or during subduction zone where the Andes mountain Cotopaxi volcano was created their reason for their formation was the movement of Nazca plate beneath the American plate which led to the mountainous formation along the volcanic formation. The movement in plates can really make all the difference in topography and that’s how all the mountains are formed by it Himalaya or any other mountain.
Basically the Earth is layered because of gravity. The earth formed in the molten state. The liquid iron which is very dense fell to the center. The rest of the earth is made up of silicate materials with SiO2 being the main component.

Labeled from left to right (left column 1-9 and right column 10-18), these are the answers.
Economic - 5, 6, 16
Social - 3, 4, 7, 8, 12, 18
Environmental - 1, 2, 9, 14, 15, 17
Political - 10, 11, 13
<u>Explanation</u>:
- Statements 5, 6 and 16 are related to the economy of China. 5 talks about how it is becoming richer, 6 talks about its currency and 16 talks about 2 major cities that contribute to China's economic growth.
- Statements 3, 4, 7, 8, 12 and 18 are related to the people of China. 3, 7 and 8 talk about the people in general and where they live in China. 4 and 18 talks about the staple food and the Chinese restaurants they have in the UK. 12 talks about the language they speak.
- Statements 1, 2, 9, 14, 15, 17 are related to the environment of China. They talk about the rivers, land, mountains, ocean, desert, and climate of China respectively.
- Statements 10, 11 and 13 relate to the political state of China. 10, 11 highlights the capital city and a great landmark in China. 13 talks about the relevant communist system present in China.
They provide evidence that movements of the crust are a result of slow moving currents in the mantle. Since earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are usually a result of stick-slip movements between 2 more plates and it is tension changes that are responsible for this sudden movement, the plates must be moving overtime or this tension would remain fairly constant.
