This is also know as strain, which is a process that occurs when the intensity of the stress is greater then the internal strength of the rock. This kind of activity, forming of mountains, occurs when to tectonic continental plates with same densities are colliding, so under the pressure, stress, they create, the area of collision is lifting up.

PLS HELP ASAP<br> decribe the importance of agriculture of the people in central america
sasho [114]

Their progress and wealth is highly dependent on the harvests, and the price of grain. They probably have to import some industrial products and if they had a bad year (weather, other catastrophies, poor technology) they can't get the necessary amount of industrial products in exchange for their surplus e. g. in grain. There are so many standards and requirements about the quality of food production that no country can survive solely on agriculture without high quality technology (machines, unharmful fertilizers, research-based breeding, etc.).
