Answer:
D. Weathering
Explanation:
Weathering is the name given to the process by which rocks are broken down to form soils.
Answer:
d) The lithosphere is broken into sections called plates.
Explanation:
Plate tectonics is the movement of the lithosphere and is responsible for such phenomena as volcanoes and earthquakes. The lithosphere is the exterior layer of the earth about a hundred kilometers thick. This layer is broken into large sized plates, about seven medium plates and numerous smaller plates.
These plates move a couple of inches every year from each other and are the cause of volcanoes and earthquakes.
Answer:
New crust, sometimes islands/mountains
Explanation:
Divergent boundaries are when two tectonic places are moving away from each other. In the current configuration of Earth, that happens in the ocean.
When plates move away from each other, they leave a gap. That gap is filled with lava that solidifies quickly and forms now crust. If the ocean floor is relatively shallow, and the lava pressure is big enough, that can lead to the formation of new islands, mountains/volcanoes on top of the gap. That's basically how the Galapagos islands were created.
That is know as the Kuiper Belt.
Answer:
B. the Appalachian Mountains and the Laurentian Mountains
