Answer: b) The Himalayas

Explanation: A collision between the Indo-Australian plate and the Eurosian plate led to the formation of the Himalayas. The present structure was formated by several steps, the first step was the collision of the Gondwana plate and Angara plate where the sea bed rose into longitudinal ridges and valleys, in the second collision step the Tethys bed rose greatly causing the final retreat of sea, forming the Great Himalayas and the Tibetan retreat of the sea. The third step was the formation of the lower Himalayas followed by the fourth step where the Himalayas ranges were elevated and the Sub Himalayas were raised. This last step led to the current structure of the Himalayas.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The grain size

Explanation:

The grain size can provide lot of clues for us when it comes to the formation of the rocks, the conditions in which they formed, and even what happened after their initial formation. The reason for this is that the grains vary in size and shape depending on the conditions in which the rocks formed. If the magma/lava cooled of quickly, the grains will be very small, almost unnoticeable, and that is a sign that the cooling appeared on the surface, very close to it, or in the presence of water. On the other hand, if the magma cooled slowly, the grains will be large and well defined, and that is a sign that the magma was cooling off slowly, deep into the crust, where there's higher temperature and pressure.
