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.
Three-fourths of the over 500,000 lakes in Europe are found in "c. Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia," since these areas have the most access to the Norwegian Sea.
<span>When there is no air movement, the relationship
between the intrapulmonary and atmospheric pressure is that they are equal. In
the start of a respiratory cycle, as the air is not moving, intrapulmonary and
atmospheric pressure are equal. Inhalation only started with the intrapleural
pressure falls off that in return helps with the enlargement of the thoracic
cavity.</span>
