Answer:

The correct Answer is  E) It was an oceanic plate that used to exist between the Pacific and North American Plates.    

Explanation:

The Farallon Plate was an ancient oceanic plate that started subducting under the west coast of the North American Plate which was then located in modern Utah as Pangaea broke apart during the Jurassic period. It is named after Farallon Islands, which are located just west of San Francisco, California.

The geological process that occurs at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates where one plate shifts under another and is forced to sink due to high gravitational potential energy into the mantle is known as Subduction. Subduction zones are areas or regions where this process occurs.

Cheers!

Which type of glacier would change the landscape this way
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

One way that glaciers change the landscape is by erosion. As they pass over the ground, the ice scrapes up soil and rock. A valley glacier will leave a valley much deeper, as it erodes the underlying surface with plucking and abrasion.
