The correct answer is - c. east.
The Appalachian Mountains are located in the eastern part of the United States, and since the Rocky Mountains are in the western part of the country, it puts them east of the Rocky Mountains.
The Appalachians are a very old mountain range, they are dated to about 480 million years ago when they formed during the Ordovician Period. At their peak, these mountains reached heights similar to the Rocky Mountains and the Alps in Europe, but because of the natural erosion they have shrunk and nowadays are much smaller in height.

Answer:
All of the above is true about the waxing gibbous and waning gibbous moon.
Explanation:
The first option is correct because the waxing gibbous moon is lit up on the right, with the moon moving into full moon phase next, and then being followed by a phase where it is lit up on the left, known as the gibbous waning moon.
The second option is correct because the moon moves from the waxing gibbous phase toward the full moon phase, it is becoming more and more lit up, thus it gains light, while the waning gibbous moon phase comes after the full moon phase where it is becoming less and less lit up, thus loses light.
The third option is correct because the lit up part of the moon in both of these phases has an elliptical shape, with the elongated part being on the top and bottom side, thus giving it an appearance like a football.
If tectonic plates collide it forms convergent plate boundaries. if tectonic plates separate they form divergent plate boundaries
It is the lithosphere that is broken into tectonic plates, which undergo some large-scale motions. The boundary regions between plates are aptly called “plate boundaries.” Based upon their motions concerning one another, these plate boundaries are of three kinds: divergent, convergent, and transform.
