<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.

During a total lunar eclipse, during totality, you'd expect:.
alexandr1967 [171]

I was a bit lost in the wording but I think I understand now...

When the lunar eclipse is in action, the earth's umbra thing will start covering the moon, making it possible to see it. When the earth's umbra completely covers the moon it will either have a red, brown or even sometimes a yellow look to it.

I think this was correct but I'm not sure about that. If this was wrong I'm really sorry and hope someone can give you the right answer for this.

Explain how solar energy and wind energy are generated?​
nalin [4]

Answer:

Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun. Fusion occurs when protons of hydrogen atoms violently collide in the sun's core and fuse to create a helium atom. This process, known as a PP (proton-proton) chain reaction, emits an enormous amount of energy.1

Explanation:

wind energy, form of solar energy that is produced by the movement of air relative to Earth's surface. This form of energy is generated by the uneven heating of Earth's surface by the Sun and is modified by Earth's rotation and surface topography.
