Appalachian: A. Two continents colliding.
The Appalachian mountain range is an ancient example of a collision between two continental plates. Both plates have low density and little subduction occurs between them.
North American Cordillera: B. Terrane accretion
These form when two continents that collided bonded so tight that it forms a permanent land mass. If the continents would pull away from each other, the terrane stays intact.
Aleutian plate: D. Oceanic convergence
This is a type of convergence where one plate subducts beneath another plate. Between the two, the older plate is usually the one that subducts because it is usually more dense.
Andes mountain range: C. An oceanic plate and continental plate colliding.
In the collision between an oceanic and continental plate, the thinner and more dense oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate. The Andes mountain range was formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South american Plate.

(E) none of the above statements are true
rain almost always comes from west to east so the western side of the mountain ranges would get more rain. A and C are not very relevant to the question<span />
Answer:
Science has a central role in shaping what count as environmental problems. This has been evident most recently in the success of planetary science and environmental activism in stimulating awareness and discussion of global environmental problems. We advance three propositions about the special relationship between environmental science and politics: (1) in the formulation of science, not just in its application, certain courses of action are facilitated over others; (2) in global environmental discourse, moral and technocratic views of social action have been privileged; and (3) global environmental change, as science and movement ideology, is vulnerable to deconstructive pressures. These stem from different nations and differentiated social groups within nations having different interests in causing and alleviating environmental problems. We develop these propositions through a reconstruction of The Limits to Growth study of the early 1970s, make extensions to current studies of the human/social impacts of climate change, and review current sources of opposition to global and political formulations of environmental issues.
