Movements of tectonic plates create volcanoes along the plate boundaries, which erupt and form mountains<span>. A volcanic arc system is a series of volcanoes that form near a subduction zone where the crust of a sinking oceanic plate melts.

Answer:
All resources mentioned in the list are <em>non-renewable</em> (cannot be replenished/once they're gone, they're gone.)
Explanation:
According to the<em> </em><em>National</em><em> </em><em>Geography</em><em> </em><em>Society</em><em>:</em>
<em> </em>"There are four major types of nonrenewable resources: <em>oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy</em>. Oil, natural gas, and coal are collectively called fossil fuels. Fossil fuels were formed within the Earth from dead plants and animals over millions of years—hence the name “fossil” fuels."
The answer is D. The Palaeozoic era was characterized by the supercontinent of Pannotia which was located at the current position where Chile is, 500 million years ago. There is evidence that shows that central Africa was once at the polar regions due to evidence of glaciers in its geological rocks. Due to tectonic movement, the Appalachians and the Ural Mountains were formed in the resulting Pangea supercontinent.
The answer is B. Convergent boundaries collide with each other, the denser plate subducting and the other buoyant plate rising thus making mountain ranges (ex. Himalayas). Divergent boundaries move away from each other, and when a hotspot is below or near, makes volcanos (ex. Hawaiian Islands).
