All map projections are inaccurate because of the shape of our world compared to the shape of our map. The shape of the world is a sphere (or a near sphere). Simplifying that to the second dimension, we still have that the world is a circle. But, maps are rectangles, so since there is a difference between a rectangle and a sphere, all maps will be inaccurate. But, many maps will be close, and will be bad in one area (such as size) but compensate in another (such as distances between continents and such). Something cool about map projections is their name (projection). They are called a projection because points on the globe are shined on with light and then the location they are on the map is where they are marked, meaning that they are 'projected' from globe to map.

This diagram illustrates which of the following
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The convergence of tectonic plates, forming a mountain range.

Explanation:

On the diagram, we can see the Eurasian plate and Indian plate, as well as the movement of the Indian plate over time relative to the Eurasian plate. The Indian plate has been moving over the course of millions of years from the southern hemisphere toward the northern hemisphere and has eventually hit the Eurasian plate. The two plates have collided and formed a convergent plate boundary.

The convergence occurs between continental crusts. With the crust constantly creating an enormous amount of pressure along the plate boundary, the crust in this part has started to bend and lift up, gradually creating a mountain range. The mountain range that has formed here is actually the highest and most massive mountain range in the world, the Himalayas.
