<em>The Andes was formed by the oceanic-continental convergence between the western-moving South American plate and subduction of the Nazca oceanic plate</em>

<em> Himalaya mountains roughly 50-70 million years ago when the northward-moving Indo-Australian tectonic plate began colliding with the relatively stationary Eurasian Plate. The boundary of the collision is called the Tibetan Plateau.  </em>

<em>Appalachian Mountains formed by plate tectonics and earthquakes shifting weight into each other causing large mountain ranges to form. </em>

The United States buys much of its oil from OPEC countries. How would an increase in prices affect the daily lives of people in
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Brainliest pls

Explanation:

The OPEC oil embargo was an event where the 12 countries that made up OPEC stopped selling oil to the United States. The embargo sent gas prices through the roof. Between 1973-1974, prices more than quadrupled. The embargo contributed to stagflation.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) then took over, ruling the oil markets and oil prices in the years that followed. However, with the discovery of shale oil in the U.S. and advances in drilling techniques, the U.S. has since re-emerged as a top energy producer.

34kurt

Answer:

Correct answer is A. The Middle East

Explanation:

There are 14 members of OPEC and most of them located in Middle East, including United Arab Emirates and Libya. Qatar was member until 2018.

None of the countries from Europe are members of this organization.

The same thing is with Central Asia, while from South Africa we only have Angola.

It is interesting that some of the largest petroleum exporting countries are not members of this organization.
