<u>Answer:</u>

When two plates push against each other, the pressure makes the crust bend to form mountains.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • When a tectonic plate moves towards the other, or two tectonic plates approach each other, there is a convergent action.
  • This action brings two usual possibilities based on the strength and density of the plates.
  • If the two plates are equally dense and are exerting equal pressure on each other, then there is an uplift action of landmasses on both the sides which causes the formation of a mountain.
  • If one of the plates is less dense, it undergoes subduction and moves below the heavier plate causing the other plate to rise to form a mountain.

<span>Good Morning!

The specialization of work is as old as the first human groupings, and it was through division by sex. The invention of the wheel dates from at least 2000 years before Christ, and can be extended up to 3,500 years if we take into account the first illustrations of a wheel. The controlled use of fire, in turn, dates back more than a million years, while the development of agriculture is about 10,000 years old. Thus, among the discoveries and inventions pointed out. It is worth noting, however, that the invention of the wheel, while important, would not contribute to such a large population growth.

Agriculture (letter d), gradually improved from 5,000 BC, is the fundamental factor for population growth, which could now settle, rather than live as a nomad.
