<h2>Answer:</h2>

When Indian plate collided with Eurasian plate created Himalayan Mountains.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The cause for the Himalayan Mountains to exist is due to Continental drift. This is caused by the collision of Indian and Eurasian plates typically known as continent-continent collision. Enormous amount of pressure is created in this situation to give rise to a gigantic mountain uplift.

During this process, sedimentary rocks got folded in a large scale in the Earth's crust called Tethys. The maximum elevation in this region is Mount Everest of 8848 m which is the highest point on the Earth. This mountain region along with Tibet plateau provides water to one-fifth of the world's population.

Kazeer [188]

That's the definition of "free fall".

We can never observe free-fall in our daily life on Earth. There's always

Which items describe possible solutions to air pollution?
Radda [10]

Following are the correct options for this question:

  • Build more windmills
  • Develop cost-efficient solar energy
  • Improve gas mileage in cars
  • Reduce the use of nonrenewable energy sources

Any undesirable change occurs in the air due to addition of pollutants is called air pollution. The major air pollutants are sulfur dioxide which is released from the combustion of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and from factories. Bedsides, sulfur dioxide dust and smokes are other pollutants. Building of more wind mills and developing low cost solar energy will reduce air pollution as they will provide clean energy and will reduce dependency on coal burning in thermal power plant. Improving as mileage in cars will also reduce emission of sulfur dioxide, hence reduce air pollution. Building of more wind mills and developing low cost solar energy are renewable source of energy, will reduce use of nonrenewable energy sources such as fossil fuels.
