In divergent boundaries, plates move away from one another, often causing volcanic activity. The cooled magma is able to form islands such as the ones on the Aleutian archipelago.

*I don't think any of these are actual types of mountains. <em>Arc contient </em>and <em>Andean</em> aren't even real things.

As for your second question:
There are two main types of rocks in the Earth's crust.
Granite is less dense and rises higher, usually above land in continental crust.
Basalt is denser and so it will sink lower and form oceanic crust.
However, there is a layer of sediment on top of that crust. (sand, gravel, etc.)

<h3>What is earth rotation?</h3>

The rotation of the planet Earth around its own axis and variations in the orientation of the rotation axis in space are referred to as Earth's orbit or Earth's spin. Earth rotates prograde in an easterly direction. The Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the northern polar star Polaris. The Northern Hemisphere's North Pole, sometimes referred to as the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole, is where the Earth's axis of rotation and surface meet. The North Magnetic Pole of the Earth is distinct from this place. The other location where the axis of rotation of Earth crosses the surface is the South Pole, which is located in Antarctica. The Earth revolves once every 24 hours or so in relation to the Sun, but only once every 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds in relation to other far-off stars.

Compared to the past, rates of soil erosion today are _____. slower more unpredictable faster about the same
JulijaS [17]

The correct answer is - faster.

The rates of erosion in the present are faster than what they have been throughout most of the geologic past. The reason for this increase in the speed of the erosion has primarily been attributed to the human activity. The humans tend to destroy lot of vegetation, be it forests, shrub-lands, or grasslands in order to clear up space for their activities and needs. This leads to much higher exposure of the soil to the process of erosion. The reason for that is that the soil is losing its natural protector form the erosion, the plants and their roots, which are holding the soil tightly and also provide cover for it. Once this natural protection is gone, the soil becomes loos, nothing is holding it, so the natural elements are eroding it very easy and quick.
