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>

The igneous rock gabbro most likely formed
weeeeeb [17]

Slowly, deep underground

The igneous rock gabbro is coarse grained and non-vesicular. Both characteristics show that it is an intrusive igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed below Earth's surface and slowly (because they're underground). When rocks are intrusive, they are are non-vesicular (no air pockets) because the air has had the time to escape because of the slow cooling time period. Intrusive rocks are also coarse because crystals had the time to form in the rock during that longer cooling time.

Ps. extrusive igneous rocks form rapidly at Earth's surface and basically have tge opposite characteristics for the opposite reasons (ex: vesicular cause air had little time to escape)
