The Appalachian Mountains are an example of a folded mountain range. Based on this information, which of the following processes
Darya [45]
The answer is that segments of Earth's crust bent and doubled over, and moving wind and water gradually shaped the rock into gently sloping domes.

One key to finding the answer is that fold mountain range is caused by the collision of plate at destructive plate boundary, causing the land to fold up under pressure from both sides.

Let's look into the choices one by one:

Melted rock called magma rose through holes in Earth's crust and gradually solidified as it cooled. - While volcanism is one of the features formed by collision,it cannot be applied in this case as there is no sign of volcanism.

Tectonic movement forced certain segments of Earth's crust downward and other segments upward in jagged chunks. - By no means would the crust move downwards under collision,thus this is not true.

One tectonic plate moved beneath another plate at a subduction zone, causing the rock to melt and rise above Earth's surface. -While molten rock subducted do produce magma,the mountain chain is not formed by volcanism, thus the statement cannot be applied.

Segments of Earth's crust bent and doubled over, and moving wind and water gradually shaped the rock into gently sloping domes.- The statement is correct as explained above. Differential weathering is also one of the reason why the mountain comes in chain.

Hope it helps!

Which volcanic hazard is most likely to cause destruction in towns located 30-60 kilometers away from a Cascade Range (very expl
Andreyy89

<u>Lahars</u> volcanic hazard is most likely to cause destruction in towns located 30-60 kilometers away from a Cascade Range volcano.

Lahar comes from Indonesian word which describe a mudflow or debris flow that originates on the slopes of a volcano. Small debris flows known to be very common within the Cascades, where they form in the times of heavy rainfall, rapid snow melt, and by shallow land sliding. These relatively small debris flows infrequently give way some miles down valleys. Inside the Cascades, the word lahar is normally reserved for larger events that occur in addition with volcanic eruptions, and travel many miles down valleys and affects the local communities. Lahars may occur by rapid melting of snow and ice during eruptions, by liquefaction of giant landslides (also called debris avalanches), by breakout floods from crater lakes, and by erosion from fresh volcanic ash deposits during heavy rains. Amid and immediately following volcanic eruptions, lahars can demeanor the foremost severe hazard to more populated valleys downstream from Cascades volcanoes.

So, the lahars volcanic hazard can cause destruction in towns located 30-60 kilometers away from a Cascade Range volcano.
