Answer:

There are several tectonic provinces collectively called as crystalline providences.

Explanation:

  • The geology of Appalachians consists of Blue Ridge, Piedmont, Adirondack, and the New England providences. They are known as Crystalline provinces.
  • The sinking of the oceans continued about 270 million year ago due to which a huge mass of rocks was pushed westwards along the margins of North America and piled up to form the mountains.
  • The Sierra Nevada is the youngest mountain range on the west coast of the United States.

Which conclusion about oceanic languages is best supported by the data in the table
andrey2020 [161]

All Oceanic languages belong to the same language family, the Austronesian language family.

Explanation:

The Oceanic languages are languages that are dispersed all over Oceania, occupying one of the largest linguistic areas in the world. Despite occupying such vast area, there are only around 2 million speakers of these languages, as the native populations on the islands in Oceania are not large in general. There are over 450 Oceanic languages, and they are part of the Austronesian language family, and tracing their origin in the Proto-Oceanic language.

The three regions where these languages are spoken are Melanesia, Polynesia, and Micronesia. It is no wonder that the people from these three regions have languages from the same family, as they all share common ancestors, so as they were diverging, the language was just developing in a slightly different way, but still keeping the basics. These languages can be grouped into:

  • Admiralties and Yapese
  • St. Matthias
  • Western Oceanic
  • Temotu
  • Central Eastern Oceanic

The largest individual language by people that speak them are:

  • Eastern Fijian
  • Samoan
  • Kiribati
  • Tongan
  • Tahitian
  • Maori
