Describe how convergence relates to orogenic belts?

Geography
1 answer:
Amanda [17]3 years ago
4 0

The convergence is what makes the orogenic belts exist, as it is the process that forms them. The convergence is basically two plates moving toward one another, colliding, and either pressing against one another, or one is subducting below the other. The orogenic belts start to develop as the crust is lifted upwards because of the immense pressure from the collision of the plates. As the crust is pushed upwards more and more, eventually a mountain range or ranges are formed. The orogenic belts are always located in close proximity to a plate boundary. Example of orogenic belt is the formation of the Himalayas, as well as the Alps, Andes, Cascades etc.

Explanation:

Christianity and Judaism, two of the world’s major religions, shared the same foundation—ancient Judaism.The two religions, however, eventually split in a series of partings, becoming two separate entities. There is one painting that dramatically illustrates the split of early Christianity and Judaism: Robert Campin’s Marriage of the Virgin.In his article “Parsing ‘The Parting.

The split of early Christianity and Judaism took place during the first centuries AD.It is commonly attributed to a number of events, including the rejection and crucifixion of Jesus (c. 33), the Council of Jerusalem (c. 50), the destruction of the Second Temple and institution of the Jewish tax in 70, the postulated, and largely discredited, Council of Jamnia c. 90, and the Bar Kokhba revolt.
