<u>Answer:</u>
A geographer would collect a city's historical data about the census and the occurrences of natural disasters in order to study the impact of demographics and calamities on the geographical features of the region.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The discipline of Geography is made up of two broad classes. One is Physical Geography and the other is Human Geography.
- These two classes are interdependent and their functioning is coherent.
- The study of a region's Geography is incomplete without the studies of the region's demography and the occurrences of natural disaster in the region, for their impact on the regional geography is immense.
Answer:
Upon contact with the continental plate, the oceanic plate, being denser, begins to sink into the asthenosphere. This sinking of the plate is called subduction. Once in the asthenosphere, the oceanic plate melts due to high temperatures. The melts thus formed come to the surface in the form of volcanic eruptions, forming a volcanic chain of subduction.
When two plates come in contact, a collision is created, which leads to earthquakes or sediment wrinkles, followed by their elevation and mountain formation.
<em>Thus, the mountain ranges were formed: the American Cordillera and the Himalayan mountains.</em>
