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.
Answer:
c. Chemical weathering
Explanation:
One of the famous landmarks in New York City is "The Statue of Liberty." It was built in<em> 1886</em> as a gift to the Americans from France.
The statue is covered with<em> copper sheets</em>, thus, it used to have a brown color. However, over time, the color turned into greenish-blue. This is because<u> the copper sheets underwent chemical weathering</u>. Such process occurred as a result of the reaction of copper with Oxygen in the air and with water. It produced<em> "copper carbonate,"</em> which is<em> greenish-blue</em> in color. Such color was noticeable in<em> </em>1900<em>, </em>but it covered the entire statue in <em>1906.</em>
Basalt is the rock that makes up a majority of the oceans floor!
The appropriate answer is B. DIVERGENT. Divergent margins occur where two oceanic plates are pulling apart or it can occur where a Continental landmass is pulling apart.
As oceanic plates pull apart magma up wells from the mantle and new crust is formed along what is called a spreading ridge. The Mid Alantic ridge is an example of a spreading ridge where new oceanic crust is being formed.
