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.

  • Gulf stream that forms the extension of the North Atlantic drift and is a warm ocean current that stretches through the tip of Florida and flows through the eastern coast of the United States and reaches the Newfoundlands before crossing the Atlantic ocean and is known to reach the Mexican gulf also.
  • At 40°0′N 30°0′W, it separated into two streams as a northern stream, the North Atlantic Drift, and hence influence the climates of the eastern coast of North America and the climates of western Europe.
  • This steam typically stretches from 100 kilometers and is 3,900 ft deep. And stream carries warm waters across Atlantic and this is a reason for the intensity of cyclones.

Explain Mexico and Canada's immigration policy! Please Help!!
Sever21 [200]

Canada and Mexico’s importance to the United States is more than simply a border-state phenomenon. The trading relationship between United States and Canada represents the largest bilateral flow of income, goods, and services in the world. Meanwhile, Mexico is the United States’ second largest trading partner. Between NAFTA coming into effect and 2003, two-way trade between Canada and Mexico more than doubled.

The temporary visa category created for Mexican and Canadian NAFTA Professional Workers enabled 92,951 Canadians and 2,571 Mexicans to enter the United States on visas in 2001. In 2002, Mexico was the country of origin of the largest number of legal immigrant admissions to the U.S, and Mexicans represented about 29.8 percent of the total foreign-born population. In comparison, Canadian immigrant admissions were only 1.8 percent of total legal admissions.

Global climate change occurs because of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in: the troposphere absorb outgoing IR rad
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

the troposphere absorb outgoing IR radiation  

Explanation:

Global warming is caused by the elevated temperature in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, where it is more than 75% of the atmospheric mass and is the closest layer to the Earth. When the Earth is heated by the sun, it receives infrared radiation, which is re-emitted by the earth to the atmosphere. However, the greenhouse gases present in the troposphere, do not allow this infrared radiation to be released, as they absorb this radiation and direct it back to the earth, causing this radiation to be trapped in the atmosphere and generating an increase in the rates of temperature that cause global warming.
