Geography

Taya2010 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

These two plates will form mountains.

Explanation:

This is an example of convergent boundaries. Convergent Boundaries are formed when two plates move towards each other. Converge means to come together from different directions and meet at one place

In the case of you question, India and Asia are an example of a Convergent Boundary. According to the theory of Continental Drift - India crashed into India. The two land masses buckled and folded - forming the Himalayas!

In 1912 Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) noticed the same thing and proposed that the continents were once compressed into a single protocontinent which he called Pangaea (meaning "all lands"), and over time they have drifted apart into their current distribution.

Give two possible reasons proposed for the massive extinction that occurred at the end of the Paleozoic Era.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Two possible reasons for the massive extinction at the end of the Paleozoic Era are an asteroid collision and massive volcanic eruptions.

Explanation:

The massive extinction that occurred at the end of the Paleozoic Era is the biggest extinction from what is known so far. The majority of the species died out, and whole families of animals and plants were wiped out of the face of the Earth. It was only small and highly adaptable organisms that managed to survive and give rise to the later life-forms.

The two possible reasons for this massive extinction are an asteroid impact and massive volcanic eruptions. An asteroid collision would have created drastic changes in a matter of minutes and hours, with effects lasting for a long period of time, thus eliminating the majority of the life. Massive volcanic eruptions, with the Siberian super-volcano being the prime candidate, may have caused enormous amounts of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide to end up in the atmosphere, thus rapidly changing the living conditions on the planet.
