Explanation:
- The Ethiopian highlands are a great mass of the rugged highlands in the Ethiopian that are situated around the horn regions and is the largest continuous elevated areas with a surface area of about 1,500 m and is also called the roof of the Africa due to the second-largest areal extent and is geologically 75 million years old.

Answer:
Convergence of oceanic and continental plates
Explanation:
- The plate tectonics states that the sedimentary on the earth has been formed from the sea beds or the ocean floor that was moved due to the deposition and accumulation of the sediments were small particles got cemented and compacted.
- Formed due to the weather and erosion from the source area, and deposited by the ice, water, and mass wasting processes. Theses deposited in layers of strata led to the formation of natural resources like coal, natural gas, and fossil fuels.
- The places were the large scale sedimentation takes place are said to be sedimentary basin and its depth and size depend on the earth's internal forces.
