Answer:
B. Imaginary horizontal lines that circle the Earth.
Explanation:
"Latitudes" are also known as "parallels." They are imaginary horizontal lines that look like hula hoops circling the Earth. They are considered a<em> type of grid mapping system</em> other than the "longitude."
The latitude is used to determine the location of an area from <em>the north or from the south of the Earth's equator </em>while the longitude is used to measure the location of an area from the<em> Prime meridian's east or west side</em>.
Answer:
The limestone found at the top of Mount Everest was formed in an ocean
Explanation:
The Himalayan Mountain Range, thus its highest peak Mount Everest as well, have been formed as a result of the collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The Indian plate, once it separated from Gondwanaland, started to move toward Eurasia. As it was getting closer, the plates started to push against each other. Since the boundary has been in the ocean, the ocean floor started to lift up first because of the immense pressure. As the plates continued to push against each other, the surrounding area was gradually pushed up, so what was once an ocean floor and lowlands was slowly becoming a mountain range. This resulted in limestone rocks that were formed in the ocean to be moved up for several kilometers and to become part of the highest mountain range in the world, providing us with another good proof of the continental drift theory.
the correct answer would be earthquakes because it gives us the answer right in the question by saying "a region where tectonic activity is", and in earthquakes they call the parts of the earthquake where it moves the ground apart tectonic plates.
