Answer:

C) They are along a plate boundary in which plates are currently converging, causing uplift and steep slopes.

Explanation:

The Andean Mountain Range is by far the longest and highest mountain range in South America, and one of the largest in the world as well. Its formation is due to the convergent plate boundary between the South American plate and the Nazca plate. The Nazca plate is an oceanic plate, while the South American plate is a continental plate. The Nazca plate subducts bellow the South American plate, causing uplift in the area near the subduction zone. This has resulted in lifting up of the land, slowly creating the steep and very high Andes. The plate boundary is still active in the same way, so the process still continues.

natima [27]

If we were to construct an accurate scale model of the solar system on a football field with the Sun at one end and Neptune at the other, the planet closest to the center of the field would be Uranus

<u>Explanation:</u>

The solar system is very big. There is space that is empty or vacuum between  the planets. The mass of all other planets when summed up, it will be lesser than the sun's mass.Uranus is at a distance of 38 yards from end zone. It is about a distance of 19 AU from that of the sun. Only one satellite visited Uranus.

When an accurate scale model of solar system is constructed having sun in one end and Neptune in the other then Uranus will be close to the center of the field. the planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are called as Jovian planets.

Why is putting rock layers in order by age useful to geologist?
iVinArrow [24]
Rock layers in order is basically natures calendar.

The highest layer is the newest formed layer 
While the deepest layer was the oldest and probably has been there from some time
And everything in between goes accordingly

So putting rocks in order by age helps scientists better understand what was there before what and how the rocks changed over time.

Hope this helps!
Brailiest is always appreciated if you feel its deserved! :)

On Earth, the Sun appears to move 15˝/hr across the sky.
ladessa [460]

Answer:

speed of apparent on moon = 0.50847° per Hour

speed of apparent movement on Jupiter= 36.36° per Hour

Explanation:

given data

Sun appears to move =  15˝/hr

to find out

How many degrees per hour would the Sun appear to move if we at equator of the Moon and How many degrees per hour would the Sun appear to move if we at the equator on Jupiter

solution

we know that sun is stable it not move but earth is revolving around that sun but it appear sun rise

so movement of sun in sky 360° every day

and time taken = 24 hours

so as we have given

speed of the apparent movement=\frac{360}{24}°/Hour = 15 °/Hour

so

we have given Time taken by the sun to Moon's sky = 29.5 days  = 29.5 × 24 = 708 hours

so

speed of apparent on moon = \frac{360}{708}

speed of apparent on moon = 0.50847° per Hour

and

we know Time taken by the sun to Jupiter = 9.9 hr

so

speed of apparent movement on Jupiter= \frac{360}{9.9}

speed of apparent movement on Jupiter= 36.36° per Hour
