<em>The convergence between a continental plate and an oceanic plate</em><em> is subduction process where the denser oceanic plate force the </em><em>thinner continental plate to sink into the mantle.</em>
<u>Answer:</u><em> Option (D)</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
The<em> type of volcanism formed the Andean Mountains in South America</em> is due to subduction process. It is due to the converging of Nazca Plate over Antarctic Plate due to gravity and made them to sink below the <em>South American Plate. </em>
This process still continues today and due to the activity, it causes volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in that region. It was reported about <em>150 - 160 (approx.) active volcanoes in the Volcanic Belt of Andes.</em>
Answer:
Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun. Fusion occurs when protons of hydrogen atoms violently collide in the sun's core and fuse to create a helium atom. This process, known as a PP (proton-proton) chain reaction, emits an enormous amount of energy.1
Explanation:
wind energy, form of solar energy that is produced by the movement of air relative to Earth's surface. This form of energy is generated by the uneven heating of Earth's surface by the Sun and is modified by Earth's rotation and surface topography.

Explanation:
Answer:
3.29ft/mi
Explanation:
The gradient of a river is the slope through which a river flows. It measures the vertical drop in elevation of river to the horizontal distance.
Mathematically;
River gradient = 
Elevation = 1229ft
Horizontal distance = 373miles
River gradient = 
= 3.29ft/mi
