The theory of plate tectonics states that that earth's crust is divided into plates that float on the semi-molten mantle below. Plates converge, diverge or slide past each other. Converging plates are responsible for the existence of fossil marine life in rocks on top of compressional mountains. Marine life gets deposited and buried in sediments in oceanic basins. As plates move together these layers of sedimentary rocks get folded and faulted upwards as the forces of compression become greater. Over time rocks are uplifted into impressive fold mountain ranges. This explains why fossil rocks are found on top of the Himalayas.
Deforestation is when the forests are stripped of their plant life
the result is, that the soil, which had been held together by the plants, beings to be swept away by rain, or simply dries out, forming a desert over time (might be sprawl, idk the definition of it)
The answer is C.) Volcanoes and earthquakes both occur along plate boundaries
Mountain ranges are not classified into a major biome
The answer is: [B]: "meandering" .
