Answer:

Sometimes an entire ocean closes as tectonic plates converge, causing blocks of thick continental crust to collide. A collisional mountain range forms as the crust is compressed, crumpled, and thickened even more. The effect is like a swimmer putting a beach ball under his or her belly—the swimmer will rise up considerably out of the water. The highest mountains on Earth today, the Himalayas, are so high because the full thickness of the Indian subcontinent is shoving beneath Asia.

The Appalachian Mountains formed during a collision of continents 500 to 300 million years ago. In their prime they probably had peaks as high as those in the modern zone of continental collision stretching from the Himalayas in Asia to the Alps in Europe. But over the past 300 million years, the Appalachians have eroded to more modest heights.

The unit rate is 5/1, and follows the rate into a slope making it proportional.

Can I just have a good amount of info on nuclear energy
DerKrebs [107]
Nuclear energy is created during a fission or fusion, and is typically used to generate electricity. Nuclear power plants use the fission or fusion reaction to create the nuclear energy, which generates heat. This heat the power plants use to transform the heat energy into electricity. Fission is where large nuclei are split into smaller nuclei. Fusion is where the small nuclei are put together to create large nuclei. These two reactions create nuclear energy.
