The correct answer is - convergent plate boundary.

The folded mountains of Pennsylvania, part of the Appalachian Mountain Range, are mountains that have been formed by plate collision. This has occurred in the Ordovician period, when the continents were merging and were establishing the super-continent Pangaea.

The Himalayas are a much more recent formation, bu the process had been the same. The Indian plate had been moving towards the Eurasian plate, and eventually collided with it. Because of the enormous pressure, the land started to lift up, and eventually created the highest mountain range in the world.

Give an introduction about hepatitis B along with its symptoms and preventive measures​
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hepatitis B is a viral infection. This infection attacks the liver and is a source of acute and chronic disease. It is transmitted by body fluids like blood, and can also be transmitted by sex if one is infected, or by childbirth by the infected mother. It is also transmitted if people are sharing needles or syringes. So prevention would be done by practicing safe sex, testing ourselves before we have kids, and using clean syringes and needles that nobody used before us. Besides these, there is a vaccination that is safe and works.

Most don't report symptoms when infected. But some can experience illness for several weeks and their skin starts yellowing along with the eyes, urine becomes darker, nausea and fatigue along with vomiting or abdominal pain.

What environment do radish seeds need for growth
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

For the most part radish seed growth is best when they are planted in cool soil; early spring or fall are the preferred seasons for many varieties. Next, be sure to get the soil in good shape before planting – loose, full of seasoned organic material, but not overly fertile. Moisture and soil depth must be right, too.
