Answer: the Balkan Mountains

Explanation:

The ranges in miles of the other options are:

-Ural Mountains, 1553 Mi

-Caucasus Mountains, composed of two ranges, the Greater Caucasus and the Lesser Caucasus, 100 Mi

-Carpathian Mountains, 932 Mi

-Balkan Mountains, 340 Mi

Mountain ranges are sources of several mineral and forestal resources, and the longer the range the more resources it provides, as it is the case of the Ural Mountains that run through Russia and sustain its economy.

In the case of the Balkan Mountains, the region is home of some of the largest deposits of silver. In Kosovo, on top of silver, from the mines in the Balkans other minerals are extracted such as lead, zinc, bismuth and cadmium. Extraction of metals and minerals is also one of the major activities of Bulgaria. The Western Balkans have the largest deposits of copper, chromite, lead and zinc of Europe, but their extraction has been constantly interrupted due to the conflicts in the region. Recently, there are efforts to boost the economy of the Balkan countries via extraction of the minerals in the mountain range.

What is the relation between geography and ice ages?
julsineya [31]
The Ice Ages shaped and sculpted the face of the Earth.  Continents that were once connected by land bridges had shifted and separated during the Ice Ages.  Therefore without the Ice Ages, Earth would look significantly different, and some of the natural beauties like Niagra Falls would not exist.

Why is the lithosphere the most important component of our environment.
Nitella [24]

The lithosphere is the outermost sphere of the solid Earth, consisting of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The lithosphere is largely important because it is the area that the biosphere (the living things on earth) inhabit and live upon.

If it weren't for the tectonic plates of the lithosphere there would be no change on Earth. Tectonic plates shift due to convection currents lower down in the mantle, and this can cause the formation of mountains, the eruption of volcanoes, and earthquakes. While this can be devastating in the short-run, long term benefits are the formation of new plant life, the creation of new habitats and encouraging adaptation.  

It is also the source of almost all of our resources, and is rich in elements like iron, aluminium, calcium, copper and magnesium, which humans have used for tools and machinery for millennia.  

When the biosphere interacts with the lithosphere, organic compounds can become buried in the crust, and dug up as oil, coal or natural gas that we can use for fuels.  

In combination with the atmosphere and hydrosphere (water), it provides a stable source of nutrients for botanical life, which produce glucose that higher organisms use for sustenance.
