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.

xeze [42]

Answer:

Options (A), (B), and (D)

Explanation:

The lithogenous sediments are usually defined as those sediments that are produced from the weathering and erosion of rocks. These sediments are then transported from one place to another by agents such as wind, water, and ice. These are the most common sediments that are found on earth.

These sediments are of variable sizes, ranging from fine-grained sediments to coarse-grained and they are abundantly found in the sandy beaches, abyssal plains and at the base of the continental slope.

The rocks at the beaches are continuously hit by the sea waves that break down and carry the sediments seaward. These sediments along with the other terrestrial sediments are deposited on the abyssal plains and base of the continental slope.

Thus, the correct answers are options (A), (B), and (D).
