Answer: (C) Plate movement

Explanation:

 The plate movement is one of the major cause of the great rift valley as the  geologists realize that rift valley was basically framed by the fierce underground powers that destroyed the world's outside layer.

 These powers made enormous pieces of the outside layer sink between the parallel separation points and power up the liquid shake in volcanic emissions.

 The great Rift Valley is mainly framed by a unique plate limit, where the Amur plate is gradually tearing away and it has been doing as such for around 25 million years.

Therefore, Option (C) is correct.

Option (D)

Explanation:

The asteroids are the rocky bodies or smaller celestial objects that are present dominantly in the asteroid belt, which is far away from the sun. This belt is present between the planet Mars and Jupiter. They are comparatively of smaller size, ranging from about a few meters to hundreds of meters and does not have a reflecting surface. Due to this, there occur difficulties in tracking them. There are millions of asteroids in the asteroid belt and are continuously moving at a speed of roughly 80,000 km/hour. There occurs frequent collision between them.

Thus, they are difficult to detect when they cross the orbit of earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D)- All the above.

D. rift valleys.

Trenches occur at convergent oceanic plates; fossils are extremely old bones, bodies, or footprints, which have gotten so old the intervening years have turned them into rock; U-shaped valleys are valleys which are shaped like the letter U, and are usually formed by glaciers, which tend not to occur underwater very often.

Wind patterns are named based on their point of origin. Match each global wind pattern to the region of Earth where it blows.
Y_Kistochka [10]

The northeast and southeast trade winds are between 0 and 30 degrees and pass from east to west, Westerlies between 30-60 degrees blow from west to east and Polar Easterlies between 60-90 degrees blow from east to the west.

<h3>What is the global wind pattern?</h3>

The global wind pattern is likewise called the overall flow of wind which moves from a location of excessive stress to a location of low pressure.

The global wind pattern on every location of Earth may be labeled as Polar Easterlies, the Westerlies, and the change winds.

Thus, The Northeast and Southeast trade winds are between 0 - 30 degrees, Westerlies between 30-60 degrees and Polar Easterlies between 60-90 degrees blow from east to the west.
