Answer: functional region
Answer:
D. Distortion.
Explanation:
In Geography, topography can be defined as the shape and structure of the Earth surface. Thus, a flat map is used to graphically describe this features.
Generally, elevations are represented on maps by lines of contour, which typically connect points having the same elevation. Also, elevations are shown on a physical map by using bands of color to connect points. In Geography, elevations are represented or measured in feets or meters.
Contours can be defined imaginary lines used for connecting locations that are having similar elevations on the Earth's surface. These contour lines are typically used for modeling the three-dimensional shape of the Earth surface in a map.
Hence, the changes in shape, size, and position of features that occur when representing the Earth on a flat map take place because of distortion.

Answer:
1. Continental-continental convergence are both <em>continental crust</em> plates.
2. Buoyancy basically means these plates are light float on top of the Asthenosphere.
Explanation:
1. To go a little more into detail, this type of convergence ocurrs when two plates made of continental crust (not oceanic) collide. In the case of ocean-continent convergence, the denser oceanic crust sinks underneath the lighter continental crust.
In this scenario, we have two plates, neither of which want to sink, so instead of going down they just crumple and fold and keep colliding. This collision creates very high mountain ranges such as the Himalaya and usually doesn't contain any volcanic activity because no magma is capable of penetrating through so much crustal material.
2. As for why continental crust is buoyant and doesn't sink has much to do with its composition. Continental crust is made mostly of silicate material. This is very different from oceanic crust which is made of basaltic rocks and is therefore heavier. The term buoyancy refers to the 'floating action' of the continental crust on top of the uppermost mantle.
