Answer:

A.  Earth’s internal heat

Explanation:

  • The earth internal heat is what drives the plate on the earth in motion and this heat energy comes to from the core of the earth and this makes the base of the plate tectonic theory as plates are dynamically active and the forces that provide energy to the earth surface are held responsible for the earth internal radioactive decay of the elements.  
  • <u>This also related to the planet's heat budget and power the most of the geologic process that takes place on earth. This heat index is measured from the heat that comes out from the earth's core to the mantel and to the crust of the planet.</u>

Mashcka [7]
On Caribbean islands with mountains, the windward slopes facing the trade winds force air upward, causing rainfall. As a result, areas immediately to the leeward of the mountains have a microclimate with sparse precipitation. This is termed as the rain shadow. It is the dry area located at the lee side of the mountain. The air in the mountains  that is being left with little to no moisture, moves behind the mountain and bringing back a drier side which is popularly called as the “rain shadow”.

How does weathering affect Plateaus? 
kondaur [170]
Basically physical and chemical  weathering (do not confuse with erosion, which involves movement) contribute to the destruction of mineral forms. In this case it breaks down the rocks, minerals and soils, creating slopes and hills. It may be caused by (any form of) water, wind, gravity, waves or sunlight.

When wind and running water gradually decrease in velocity, the transported sediments are deposited
UkoKoshka [18]
<span>When wind and running water gradually decrease in velocity, the transported sediments are deposited over a period of time, and are sorted by size and density. This is because as the velocity decreases, sediments or rocks will accumulate resulting to variety of sizes and a change in density.</span>
