Mountain ranges often appear on the edges of continents. The earth would of had to smash together to make the land go up into the air. A mountain range or a hill range is a series of mountains and/or hills arranged in a line and connected by high round. Mountain ranges are a result, in most cases, of a geological process called a plate tectonics, which is the motion of large plates, like continents. This theory that supports the concept of continents colliding, explains why there are mountain ranges.

So the answer is B: Over time, from the earth's plates pushing on each other.

How do conservationists make use of watersheds and eco zones? why is this important?
babymother [125]
Ecozone is divergent environment wherein the biotic community, plants, animals and people and non-biotic community, lithosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere communicate and process. <span>
Moreover these tools aids in detecting ecological changes such as species extinction or climate disorders due to human activity.</span> <span>
Hence, Conservationists that are inclined and supports the proper usage of the natural resources are able to identify areas and resources that are being misused. They are also able to prevent and report such possible threats to the environment and helps maintain and sustain the ecological system. This will increase the chances to avoiding climate change to a great extent.

Given STU and DEF what is the m
Sonja [21]

Answer:

m<E = 105°

Explanation:

The ratio of the corresponding side lengths of ∆STU and ∆DEF are equal. That is:

\frac{ST}{DE} = \frac{TU}{EF} = \frac{SU}{DF} = \frac{15}{6} = \frac{10}{4} = \frac{20}{8} = 2.5.

According to similarly theorem, if two ∆s are similar, the ratio of their corresponding lengths would be the same. Therefore, ∆STU is similar to ∆DEF.

Since ∆STU ~ ∆DEF, their corresponding angles are congruent. That is:

<S ≅ <D, this means both are 29° each.

<T ≅ <E, this means they are both equal

<U ≅ <F. this means both are 46° each.

Thus:

m<E = 180 - (m<D + m<F) (sum of ∆)

m<E = 180 - (29 + 46) (substitution)

m<E = 180 - 75

m<E = 105°

What is the value of x
Firlakuza [10]
Since this is a square you can set 3x+20=5x then you can solve for x.
Subtract 3x from both sides:
3x-3x+20=5x-3x
20=2x
Divide both sides by 2
20/2=2x/2
10=x

Hope this helps.
