Answer:
earthquakes are able to reach any area! It has no limits unlike tsunamis. It can destroy way more and even break earths crust, they can cause even avalanches! And damage roads making it hard for people to drive to where they need to go.

Explanation:
Alexander the Great was a king of Macedonia who conquered an empire that stretched from the Balkans to modern-day Pakistan. Alexander was the son of Philip II and Olympias (one of Philip's seven or eight wives). He was brought up with the belief that he was of divine birth. He became king upon his father's death in 336 BCE and went on to conquer most of the known world of his day. He is known as 'the great' both for his military genius and his diplomatic skills in handling the various populaces of the regions he conquered.
It’s would be B( the 2nd one).
Answer:
The Himalayan Mountains by India, Nepal, and China are the best example of a convergent plate boundary.
Explanation:
The Himalayan Mountains are the highest mountain range in the world, but also the most massive one. It acts as a natural boundary between Southern, Southeastern, Eastern, Central, and Southwestern Asia. This mountain range is a relatively young one (geologically speaking), and it has formed because of the collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates.
When India diverged from Gondwana, it started to move toward Eurasia. After tens of millions of years, the Indian plate hit the Eurasian plate from the south, and with both of the plates being continental and having a boundary with their continental parts, they created a convergent plate boundary. The pressure between the plates has resulted in lifting up the crust, gradually creating a huge mountain range.
Answer:
1. Continental-continental convergence are both <em>continental crust</em> plates.
2. Buoyancy basically means these plates are light float on top of the Asthenosphere.
Explanation:
1. To go a little more into detail, this type of convergence ocurrs when two plates made of continental crust (not oceanic) collide. In the case of ocean-continent convergence, the denser oceanic crust sinks underneath the lighter continental crust.
In this scenario, we have two plates, neither of which want to sink, so instead of going down they just crumple and fold and keep colliding. This collision creates very high mountain ranges such as the Himalaya and usually doesn't contain any volcanic activity because no magma is capable of penetrating through so much crustal material.
2. As for why continental crust is buoyant and doesn't sink has much to do with its composition. Continental crust is made mostly of silicate material. This is very different from oceanic crust which is made of basaltic rocks and is therefore heavier. The term buoyancy refers to the 'floating action' of the continental crust on top of the uppermost mantle.
