Answer

Mountain building caused by a Convergent plate boundary between the colliding Indian and the Eurasian plates.

Explanation:

The country of India is located on the Indian Plate and is currently colliding with the Eurasian plate which is creating the Himalayan Mountain Range along with other structural geologic formations.

Convergent Plate Boundary's are the result of two plates colliding with each other this could be oceanic-continental,  oceanic-oceanic, and continental-continental. The Indian and Eurasian plates are both continental, there is no subduction between the two plates so no volcanism is present in the area.

(On maps the Indo-Australian Plate is sometimes combined with the Indian Plate but they are widely considered separate).

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The Egyptians showed their knowledge of astronomy in that they developed a calendar.

Explanation:

The building of the pyramids and their meaning and usage is still heavily debatable, so we can not take this option as correct per se.

The development of the calendar is correct because it was based directly on the knowledge of astronomy and the movement patterns of the space objects.

The medical textbooks have been a product of the development of medicine, so it is not a correct option.

The embalming was a process used for the passed away nobles in order to prepare them for the afterlife, so it is not correct.
