The photograph above shows mountains in the Andes range in South America.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

C) They are along a plate boundary in which plates are currently converging, causing uplift and steep slopes.

Explanation:

The Andean Mountain Range is by far the longest and highest mountain range in South America, and one of the largest in the world as well. Its formation is due to the convergent plate boundary between the South American plate and the Nazca plate. The Nazca plate is an oceanic plate, while the South American plate is a continental plate. The Nazca plate subducts bellow the South American plate, causing uplift in the area near the subduction zone. This has resulted in lifting up of the land, slowly creating the steep and very high Andes. The plate boundary is still active in the same way, so the process still continues.

The time at 20°W longitude is 2 am. what is the time at 90°E longitude?​
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

6 hours

explain

We know that each 15 degree makes an hour

15 degree = 1 hour

90 degree = 90/15=6 hours

Note: when places are located to the East of pm or GMT, the time will be ahead of PMT or GMT and vice-versa

So, 90 degree is to the east of PM, time will be

2:00pm +6 hours = 8:00pm on 90 degree east

Thank you!
