(1) Earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop Earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) The plates are called

tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) They can move because Earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) Volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) Also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) Therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) Plates may also collide. (8) When that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) For example, the collision of the plate carrying the Indian subcontinent created the Himalayan Mountains when it collided with the Asian plate. Which statement about this paragraph is accurate?

Sentence 7 is correct.

I would say that plate tectonics shows what the origin of volcanic activity, earthquakes and mountains comes from their collision or subduction. Where two plates collide mountains can be formed (uplift), where subduction occurs then volcanic activity like in the circum-pacific belt occurs and where stresses build up in subduction or transform fault (like the San Andreas Fault)  and are suddenly released, earthquakes are the result. Subduction is where the oceanic plate gets pushed under the continental plate.

Nikitich [7]

Answer: Once upon a time, there was a wrench bird that housed on a metal tree. The tree was annoyed by the bird after it pooped white balls that hatch into microbirds that were new to the world that were very noisy with their chreep chreep sound. The tree decided to shake to dance to pitch the bird to the house of a human named Smiley. Smiley saw that the bird was sad that had no house to live in so he decided to adopt the bird and its babies. The bird lived cheerly and so did babies. THE END!
