The correct answer is - Andes Mountains.

The Andes Mountain Range is a result of a oceanic-continental convergence. This mountain range stretches alongside the western coast of the South American continent, in close proximity of the convergent boundary between the South American tectonic plate, which is continental one, and the Nazca tectonic plate, which is oceanic one.

The Nazca plate is subducting beneath the South American plate, and it managed to lift up the land in close proximity to the boundary. As the land was lifting up more and more, over time a mountain range was formed, the biggest and dominant one in South America, the Andean Mountain Range.

Which statemnet accurately describes a P wave?
Archy [21]

Answer:

B. P waves can travel through liquids

Explanation:

P waves or primary waves are elastic waves produced from an earthquake. They are the first waves that arrives a Seismic station when an earthquake disturbs the earth.

P and S waves are both body waves that moves within the earth.

P- waves travel faster than S- waves and can propagate through any medium. S-waves or Secondary waves are shear waves that can only propagate through soilds.

Both waves are longitudinal and moves parallel to their source of propagation. They move by disturbing other particles in their line.

Transverse waves are the love and rayleigh waves. They are both surface waves that travels and cause disturbance on the surface of the earth during an earthquake. They move up and down.
