Answer:

This is because of isostatic adjustment.

Explanation:

The mountains of the Himalayas keep growing because of the isostatic adjustment. it allows for a gravitational balance in the Himalayan mountain region, which causes tectonic plates to float below these mountains. This fluctuation occurs in the densest part of the asthenosphere. This density, together with the force of gravity, causes an increase in the height of the tectonic plate that sinks more and more. As the tectonic plate sinks, inversely, this plate rises, when its weight decreases, and it is this rise that causes the mountain to grow.

3241004551 [841]

Answer: Very Likely

Explanation:

Michigan has had 24 deaths from extreme cold in the last 20 years.

This is a rate of:

= 24 / 20

= 1.2 deaths per year.

For something to be considered ''very likely'' to occur, the chances of that thing occurring needs to be above 90%.

Going by the deaths per year, the probability is more than 90% at 120%. It is therefore very likely that there will be a death from extreme cold.
