<em>The convergence between a continental plate and an oceanic plate</em><em> is subduction process where the denser oceanic plate force the </em><em>thinner continental plate to sink into the mantle.</em>
<u>Answer:</u><em> Option (D)</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
The<em> type of volcanism formed the Andean Mountains in South America</em> is due to subduction process. It is due to the converging of Nazca Plate over Antarctic Plate due to gravity and made them to sink below the <em>South American Plate. </em>
This process still continues today and due to the activity, it causes volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in that region. It was reported about <em>150 - 160 (approx.) active volcanoes in the Volcanic Belt of Andes.</em>

Explanation:
Humans and wild animals face new challenges for survival because of climate change. More frequent and intense drought, storms, heatwaves, rising sea levels, melting glaciers and warming oceans can directly harm animals, destroy the places they live, and wreak havoc on people's livelihoods and communities. Increased heat, drought and insect outbreaks, all linked to climate change, have increased wildfires. Declining water supplies, reduced agricultural yields, health impacts in cities due to heat, and flooding and erosion in coastal livelihoods and communities.
Acid rain is found in Sweden and is caused by air pollution in Britain and other countries of Europe. The pollution produced in Britain ends up mostly in Scandinavian countries- countries of northern Europe including Sweden, Norway and Denmark. In the USA, the winds blow air pollution to certain areas in Canada.
Acid rain has terrible effects on water life. Thousands of lakes in Scandinavia have no more life in them. They have received so much acid rain for so many years that life has been snuffed out and nothing can survive in these waters.
Answer:
C. It is larger in urban areas
Explanation:
- Carrying capacity is the number or the amount of pressure of species on the earth's ecological system can bear or can carryforwards and can be sustained by giving food, water, and necessity available to the environment.
- The ecological footprint is a measure or a way to estimate the pressure on the natural resources by these species by taking in the future possibilities and limitations. Estimated in terms of the demands and the biocapacity of the ecosystem.
- <u>The urban area carrying capacity is a result of interaction of the multiple subsystems and due to the large human activities the urban areas have low levels of the carrying capacity as they are not natural settings and put pressure and huge load over resources.</u>
