Appalachian: A. Two continents colliding.
The Appalachian mountain range is an ancient example of a collision between two continental plates. Both plates have low density and little subduction occurs between them.
North American Cordillera: B. Terrane accretion
These form when two continents that collided bonded so tight that it forms a permanent land mass. If the continents would pull away from each other, the terrane stays intact.
Aleutian plate: D. Oceanic convergence
This is a type of convergence where one plate subducts beneath another plate. Between the two, the older plate is usually the one that subducts because it is usually more dense.
Andes mountain range: C. An oceanic plate and continental plate colliding.
In the collision between an oceanic and continental plate, the thinner and more dense oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate. The Andes mountain range was formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South american Plate.
There are 1 to 2 called alleles
Coal seams are far deep underground to be considered for opencast minings. These coal seams require underground mining. Since it is too deep underground, it can be used for mapping and correlation of sedimentary rocks or as a key bed.
In the small intestine, these cells contain microvilli, which are tiny hair-like projections that increase nutrient absorption. These projections increase the surface area of the small intestine allowing more area for nutrients to be absorbed.
By definition, a chaparral ecosystem is mostly located in the south of the United States wherein it mainly comprises the mountain ranges of Sierra Nevada. In addition to that, biotic characteristics of these chaparrals include having abiotic factos such as wet winters and dry summers that sometimes cause wildfires.
