U.S. involvement in the affairs of countries in the Middle East is a long, complicated, and tenuous history. The simple answer is that the United States has been involved in conflicts in the Middle East because of its relationships with countries and governments in that region and more broadly its desire to assert its influence in this vital region of the world that has unfortunately been rife with conflict. During the Cold War the Middle East was very much a battleground between the U.S. and the Soviet Union in the fight for resources, influence, and power. This has continued today as new rivalries and conflicts have developed even without the Soviet Union.
Answer:
An alpha star is the brightest star in the constellation.
Explanation:
The first option is not correct because this type of star is not identified as such because of its location in the constellation.
The second option, as the first one, is not correct because the location of this type of star has nothing to do with its identification as such.
The third option is not correct because the distance from Earth is not taken into account when a star like this is identified.
The fourth option is correct because an alpha star is a star that is brightest in the constellation, and it can be located anywhere in it, and it can be of any color a star can be.
The fifth option is not correct because the color of the star can be of any type, but what matters the most is how bright it is compared to the other stars in the constellation.

Answer:
Correct answer is: (A)<em> </em><em>India, Pakistan, Nepal, and other countries are on a tectonic plate that collided with Asia 50 million years ago</em>.
Explanation:
Mentioned countries are located on Indian Plate, tectonic plate which separated from ancient supercontinent <em>Gondwana</em>, some 100 million years ago. That supercontinent was on the Southern Hemispehere. Indian plate moved towards north, until colided with Eurasian plate, some 50 million years ago.
In the line of collision, continental convergent margin is formed, which eventually lead to formation of <em>the Himalayas</em>, highest mountian chain in the world.
There's three types of plate boundaries:
- Collision plate boundaries (where two or more plates of the same density collide )
- Adjacent plate boundaries (where two or more plates slide against each other)
- Subduction plate boundaries (where one or more plates with lesser density are subducting below the the plate that has bigger density).
