<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.

Identify major centers of domestication of plants and animals.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Southwest Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Americas.

Explanation:

Major centers of domestication of plants and animals are Southwest Asia which also known as the Fertile Crescent, Southeast Asia, and the Americas. Plants and animals diffused globally because of the interaction of different cultures with each other. When the two different cultures interact with each other through migration from one region to the new one, both cultures exchanges some of the ways of living and methods. When the English people came to the New world, they introduced cultivation of corn crop which leads to diffusion of plants in the America.
