Geography

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.

How a wall stands? plz help and brainliest
NNADVOKAT [17]

A wall stands using gravity. It is constantly being pulled down. Many also place them in ways that they dig into the ground, and almost make a socket just for the wall to be placed, using the land that is there. More and more walls are placed and eventually, they make flooring and a roof.

Hope that helped!

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Laccolith

Explanation:

A laccolith is an intrusion with the shape of a mushroom that grows under the earth's surface. This happens when liquid magma exceeds its way between 2 layers of rock, causing the overlying sediments to puff out as the feature increases. Eventually, this causes the origin of small hills and mountains surrounding the top of the mountain.
