Because the peak is the highest and the pointiest and that makes it easier for the mountain to poke through the Earth when it forms
Answer:
B) near sea level
Explanation:
Firstly, Isostasy is an equilibrium of adjacent lithosphere floating on the asthenosphere . The continental crust been solid floats on the denser mantle and balance the equilibrium between the portion on the mantle and the elevated parts.
The higher it elevation on the lithosphere or continental crust the more portion of the crust that sinks into the aesthenospere to balance the equilibrium. Therefore to balance a 40km thickness of continental crust requires more portion sinking into the interior of the earth(mantle) .
Both continental crust(40km and 20km) will be near sea level to be in equilibrium.
A. The heat from buildings melts the ice in the permafrost below and the water is then displaced.
Explanation:
- Permafrost are frozen soils in temperate and polar regions.
- For a long period of time, if the soil remains frozen due to the presence of water that remains above freezing point, permafrosts forms.
- Permafrost are usually a bane to construction works.
- When the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline was being built, accommodation was made for the permafrost in the terrain.
- Buildings sitting on permafrost can cause the soil to heat thereby releasing the frozen soil as melt water with soil.
- This can cause displace of buildings in very serious cases.

Answer:
Many believed the Church needed to be reformed. In the 1500s Kings such as Charles V had a sole political strategy: centralisation. This 'centralisation' included forming one State religion throughout the empire.However followers of Calvin and Luther (generally Protestants) were not very pleased with this. God was in their eyes more important than the sovereign. A King strenghtening his centralisation policy of setting Catholicism as the sole religion, consequently sparked political conflicts in the empire as well. For example, the area what we nowadays call Germany existed in that time from seperate semi-sovereign areas headed by a so-called 'elector'. Electors chose the ruling emperor/king.In 1555 the Peace of Augsburg was signed as a direct effect of the wars between the ultimate sovereign and the semi-sovereign electors. Charles V agreed upon the division of religion within his empire ("cuius regio, eius religio"): the ruler dictated the religion of the ruled in the seperate areas that made up the Holy Roman Empire (HRE). so, the reformation led to warfare because of different ideas by the ruler and his people. That led to political conflict mainly because the people also didn't agree with the ruler's centralisation policy.
