Answer:

A. Andes mountains.

Explanation:

  • Geologically the Andes are the mountain ranges that were formed under the Mesozoic tertiary era and they were the belt of the mountains in the rings of the pacific zones formed by the volcanic activity that encompasses the pacific rim.
  • These was created by the subconduction of the pacific ocean plate and that of the South American plate and resultant convergent plate resulted to the formation of this zone.
  • <u>These subcontracting plates are those of the Nazca and the antarctic plate and the orogeny of the plate is a result of the several orogenies of the late paleozoic periods that date back to that of the Pangea supercontinent. </u>
  • <u>Thus the plate is a subduction zone of the entire western coast of South America and has experienced several areas of volcanism.</u>

How are the aquatic organisms, wildlife and the human population impacted by trash pollution?
Allushta [10]

Trash pollution like plastic can impact aquatic organisms, they can swallow the plastic which can kill them if not treated right away, other trash pollution like oils can make the aquatic organisms sick. Some pollutants can also affect the mother's milk when it comes time to feed their young, Lots of pollutions can make the animals sick very sick and they can't fight the virus so they ended up dying putting their species at risk of extinction.

Air pollutants can affect the birds, they are breathing in toxic airs from factories and that can kill them too or make them sick.

Pollutions are very bad for aquatic life and wildlife, we have to make sure we keep this planet clean or else we will die out too like the animals

hope this helped :)

Have a great day

Wegener's theory of continental drift was formulated at a time when evidence for it was lacking. what new evidence was harry hes
Andrew [12]
The theory of continental drift by Alfred Wegener states that all land masses were originally united in a single supercontinent known as Pangaea (250 million years ago). He shows evidences like continental fit, similarity of rock sequences, glacial till and striations, fossils (cynogathus-land reptile, lystrosaurus-land reptile, mesosaraus-freshwater reptile, glossopteris-fern plant) to support his theory but what was lacking is that it lacked a mechanism to explain HOW the continents moved apart. But Harry Hess, a geologist and Navy submarine commander during WWII <span>brought up a new evidence to add in support of Wegener’s theory: the idea of seafloor spreading and magnetic reversals.</span>
