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.

Answer:

Yes, Absolutely

Explanation:

There exists a possibility that other planets on our solar system have various natural hazards like situations as the case of Jupiter, Mars and Mercury and Neptune. Sun being a star also faces lots of storms. These storms may be magnetic in nature or geologic in nature. Like the Jupiter red-eye or jovian spot, which is a persistent anticyclonic storm going on for centuries. Likewise, mars have lots of dust storms, which can lead to an electric atmosphere, mars also have large martian mountain and the presence of cold polar type caps. And the planet mercury is considered to have an earthquake just like earth because of the active tectonic processes that shape the landscape.

Are geologic structures like folds and faults in any way related to plate tectonic processes? Explain.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

<u>Yes , They are architectural structures that shape the geology of earth.</u>

Explanation:

  • These geologic structures influence the shape and size of landscape development and determine the degrees to landscape hazards. Folds and faults and other geologic structures accommodate large forces/stress on earth's tectonic plates.  
  • Foldes are of two types such as Syncline and Anticline. Formed due to the crustal bending and wrapping of the geo sediments or rocks. The youngest at the top and the oldest at the bottom. As antiforms contain comparatively younger folded rock strata.
  • Faults are a planar surface within the earth, where the rocks have slid or broken a fault may be caused due to the elastic strains on the rocks, the rocks on either side are shifted in opposite direction and the faults get induced.
  • There are many types of faults and folds in the history of the earth's surface, many of these have led to the formation or shaping of mountain ranges and various mountain chains.
  • Another example can be of Mount Everest which is a young folded mountain formed from the colloid of the Tethys sea when India was once a part of the Australian continent.  
  • Plate tectonics is thus directly related to the formation and motion of the plates  which mover the entire planet and shape its orogeny
