The correct answer is - c. east.
The Appalachian Mountains are located in the eastern part of the United States, and since the Rocky Mountains are in the western part of the country, it puts them east of the Rocky Mountains.
The Appalachians are a very old mountain range, they are dated to about 480 million years ago when they formed during the Ordovician Period. At their peak, these mountains reached heights similar to the Rocky Mountains and the Alps in Europe, but because of the natural erosion they have shrunk and nowadays are much smaller in height.
A magma's viscosity is directly related to its
SILICA CONTENT
6x+4y=13
-(3x+4y=8.5)
-------------------
3x=4.5 =x=4.5/3=1.5
It will be 1.5
A tectonic hazard would be something that isn't expected but only lasts so long.
Example: an earthquake or tsunami
The best example is an earthquake
Immediate responses would be to take shelter under a sturdy building or get to high grounds where nothing can fall on you.
The number of deaths could be reduced by having regular safety checks of buildings and if you know you are near tectonic plate shifting then the building should be built with study material.
