The correct answer is B Subduction. Subduction is the process by which an oceanic plate gets dragged under another plate and is eventually destroyed in the mantle. Subduction occurs at convergent margins where two oceanic plates collide or an oceanic and Continental plate collide. Oceanic crust is made of mainly of silica and magnesium which is heavier or denser than continental crust which is composed mainly of silica and aluminium.
The subducting plate melts producing excess magma giving rise to volcanoes along these margins.
Landslides and avalanches are the most dramatic, sudden, and dangerous examples of earth materials moved by gravity. Landslides are sudden falls of rock, whereas avalanches are sudden falls of snow.
A drainage basin is a region of land where water from rain or snowmelt flows into an ocean, lake, river, or other body of water.
Answer:

and summer months
Explanation:
A biome may be defined as that community of plants as well as animals that have a common characteristics in the surrounding or the environment in which they live. They are the biological communities formed as a result of the physical climate they share.
The Arctic biome of the earth is located above the 66° north latitude. This region is home to various low growing plants and herbs. They only flourish in the spring seasons and the summer months. This is because this biome receives maximum amount of solar energy during the summer and the spring months. Rest of the year is covered with snow.
