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.

Tension often arises between citizens' need for information and the government's need for secrecy on issues involving
cluponka [151]

The answer is National security because the citizens need to know that they are being protected, and usually also how they are being protected. But the government often needs so measure of secrecy in order to protect National Security. If the government were to tell citizens exactly how they were being protected and someone posted it onto the internet it would severely compromise that protection. However people do not generally seem to understand that and tensions become heated between the two groups. Both sides reasons are perfectly legitimate, but one outweighs the other by knowledge. The answer is B.
