The correct answer is D. decreased energy consumption.
This measure is implemented for few reasons:
1. The fossil fuels are expendable, so they have to be managed carefully.
2. The economic power of the people will benefit.
3. Decreasing the pollution.
4. Dependence on fossil fuels, thus giving more time and space for developing alternative fuels, like the algae fuel for example...
Answer:
Megathrust earthquakes occur at convergent plate boundaries, where one tectonic plate is forced underneath another. The earthquakes are caused by slip along the thrust fault that forms the contact between the two plates.
Granite is a light-colored igneous rock with grains large enough to be visible with the unaided eye. It forms from the slow crystallization of magma below Earth's surface. Granite is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles, and other minerals.
Mountain ranges are created at convergent or destructive boundaries between tectonic plates. Convergent margins are formed when two tectonic plates move towards each other. When this happens the crust is folded and faulted upwards into impressive mountain ranges called fold mountains. Notable fold mountain ranges include the Andes, Alps and Himalayas. These mountains are formed at continent to continent collision and ocean to continent convergence.
