The correct answer is - A. Mountains in Iraq and Oman.

The pressure created from the Arabian Plate pushing towards the Eurasian Plate has lifted the terrain at some parts, most notably at the territory of Iraq and Oman. The most noticeable mountains in here are the Zagros Mountains in Iraq. These mountains are of great significance for the Kurdish population that considers them as sacred mountains.

The convection currents responsible for moving tectonic plates occur in which earth layer?
Studentka2010 [4]
Convection currents occur in the MANTLE. The mantle is the second layer of the earth after the crust. The mantle is approximately 2900 km thick. Convection currents are triggered or fueled by the heat from the Earth's core.

The part of the mantle closest to the core gets heated. It then becomes less dense than the layers above so it rises. When this rising plume interacts with the crust it cools and becomes more dense than the layers below and so it sinks and this circular motion continues to form convection currents.

irina [24]

Answer:

It changes the angle.

Explanation:

Seasonality affects the angle of the sun above the horizon by making it higher in the summer and lower in the winter.

The tilt of the Earth is responsible for the seasons and for the angle at which the solar rays make contact with any given point on the globe during a certain season.

In summer, the Sun is closer to the overhead position, while in winter the Sun is lower on the horizon.
