Answer:

(b) a descending convection current in the Earth's mantle.

Explanation:

We cannot see the deep interior of Earth, but we know from a variety of observations that it is in continuous motion. This is because the mantle convects. This fundamental planetary process has profoundly influenced the character and evolution of Earth.

Mantle convection is the main way heat from Earth's interior is transported to its surface, and this heat escapes principally through mid-ocean ridges. In fact, the connected mid-ocean ridge system is in essence a 80,000 km long volcano.

Heat in the mantle comes from the Earth's molten outer core, decay of radioactive elements and, in the upper mantle, friction from descending tectonic plates. The heat in the outer core results from residual energy from the Earth's formative events and the energy generated by decaying radioactive elements. This heat warms the base of the mantle to an estimated 7,230°F. At the mantle-crust boundary. the mantle's temperature is an estimated 392°F.

The correct answer is C. There is a large amount of rain or snow in the air.

Explanation

According to the fragment of the question that states that "To use a radar, a weather tower sends out radio waves and then detects the waves that are reflected back to the tower" it is possible to infer that the radar waves that are reflected towards the tower They are the product of the collision of these waves with an object that is in the air such as rain. Therefore, in the case in which a large number of radio waves are reflected towards the tower in a particular area, it can be said that this is due to a large number of objects in the air in this area such as rain or snow. So the correct answer is C. There is a large amount of rain or snow in the air.

Which type of mountain forms because of divergent plate boundary?
hjlf
In divergent boundaries, plates move away from one another, often causing volcanic activity. The cooled magma is able to form islands such as the ones on the Aleutian archipelago.

*I don't think any of these are actual types of mountains. <em>Arc contient </em>and <em>Andean</em> aren't even real things.

As for your second question:
There are two main types of rocks in the Earth's crust.
Granite is less dense and rises higher, usually above land in continental crust.
Basalt is denser and so it will sink lower and form oceanic crust.
However, there is a layer of sediment on top of that crust. (sand, gravel, etc.)
