Answer:

According to the Wilson cycle, the plate motion takes place continuously as a result of which the divergent motion of the continental plates results in the formation of the rift valley and oceans. These continuous divergent motion of continental plates results in the convergent of continental plates at some other places, which give rise to the formation of the large mountain and mountain ranges.

These Mountain ranges are the large geological landforms that are constructed due to the convergent motion of two continental tectonic plates.

For example, the Appalachians were formed due to the collision of the North American and the North African plate, about 480 million years back, which are now separated by the Atlantic ocean

The mountain belt of Urals was formed due to the collision of the eastern European and Kazakhstan continent that occurred from the late Paleozoic time to the early Triassic age.

Humans have built artificial levees along the Mississippi River to protect themselves and their property from floods. However, t
Nikitich [7]

The correct answer is - A. reduce the amount of sediment deposited on floodplains and increase the amount of sediment deposited at the river's mouth.

The Mississippi River is one of the biggest rivers in the world. It is also a river that carries with it very large amount of sediments. The levees built along side it though do not allow the natural process of deposition of sediments on the floodplains of the river. That results in the river carrying the sediments down to the river mouth. Because of this, the river mouth is becoming an ever-growing delta because of the constant deposition of very large amounts of sediments. This also causes lot of the sediments to end in the coastal parts of the sea, which makes the sea waters shallower and murkier, as well as creating new land forms alongside the coast from the deposited material.

Semenov [28]
Answer: Economists view the term Economic stability as a state of constant economic growth along with low inflation.

Explanation: When economy of any country is growing positively it ultimately reduces the inflation in a country. Thus we can say that they are inversely proportional to each other, means when you see increasing inflation, it indicates that the economic growth is either negative or stagnated however, when inflation is decreasing it indicates that the economy of a country is growing positively.
