Answer:
convergence between a continental plate and an oceanic plate
Explanation:
The Andean Mountain Range has been formed because of volcanic activity. This has happened because of a convergent plate boundary between two plates.
More specifically, the convergent plate boundary is between the continental South American plate and the oceanic Nazca plate. The Nazca plate is lower, denser, heavier, and it is moving below the South American plate, creating a subduction zone.
Where the boundary is between the two plates, the mantle manages to push through magma upwards through the cracks in the crust. This magma managed to get to the surface, lift up the land and create volcanoes, creating a continental volcanic arc parallel to the plate boundary, over time becoming the enormous Andean Mountain Range.
For geothermal energy
-Pros: No cost fluctuations determined by gas and oil prices.
-Cons: Fewer installers than standard HVAC and thus less competition.
For hydroelectric
-Pros: Facilities can affect land use, homes, and natural habitats in the dam area
-Cons: Hydropower does have environmental impacts.
Answer:
1- Option (C)
2- Option (A)
3- Option (B)
Explanation:
The warm ocean currents are responsible for the transportation of warm and moist air to the coastal region, whereas the cold ocean currents are responsible for carrying the cold and dry air to the nearby coastal areas.
Therefore, the region (1) will experience a cold and dry type of weather.
The stratosphere is the layer that is just above the troposphere and extends from a height of about 10 to 50 km above the ground surface. Here the temperature increases with the increasing height due to the presence of Ozone layer (O₃) that absorbs the incoming solar radiations.
Troposphere is the interior layer of the atmosphere that extends from the ground surface up to a height of about 10 km. Here, the temperature decreases with the increasing altitude. The air near the ground surface is compact and dense, due to which the temperature remains high. As the warm air rises up it interacts with the cold air that is situated over the warm air. Due to this, the air cools down and sinks to the bottom.
Hence, the correct answers are mentioned above.
