When there is a large and nonvolcanic mountain belt such as the Himalayas, this is associated with continent-continent collisions.

<h3>Why are these associated with such collisions?
</h3>

When continents collide, it would be pieces of the earth's crust colliding so there wouldn't be any opening that leads to lava seeping out from the Mantle. The result would therefore be nonvolcanic.

With the crust being so thick, the result will also be thick crusted much like the Himalayas which is the result of the Indian and Eurasian plates colliding.

In conclusion, option D is correct.

<span>ore
       
An ore is a type of mineral or rock which has a high enough concentration of a desirable element such that it's economical to extract that desired element. This means that the actual concentration of metal in an ore varies quite dramatically depending upon the metal. For instance, Bauxite, which is the ore for aluminum contains approximately 15% to 25% aluminum. But for gold, it's not uncommon to profitably extract 1 ounce of gold from several tons of rock.</span>

Margaret [11]
Name two geographic obstacles and one political obstacle that stood in the way of the construction of the Panama Canal.

Answer: The two geographic obstacles that stood in the way of the construction of the Panama Canal was that Panama was very mountainous, and there were a lot of mud slides. One political obstacle was that Panama was part of Colombia. The united states had to negotiate with Colombia before Panama became independent. Engineers had to build a dam, design and build locks, and remove huge amounts of earth and rock in order to overcome the geographical obstacles.

I hope it helps, Regards.

Choose the 2 reasons some atoms are radioactive. a. the number of additional neutrons of an isotope is too large b. the nucleus
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The correct options are: a. the number of additional neutrons of an isotope is too large; d. the number of additional neutrons of an isotope is too small

Explanation:

The chemical elements that have the same number of protons in the nucleus but different number of neutrons are known as isotopes. Isotopes can be stable or unstable.

The isotope having an unstable nucleus, due to the presence of additional neutrons in the nucleus of the atom, is known as a radioisotope.

Also, chemical elements that have atomic number greater than 83 have unstable nuclei and thus they are called radioisotopes.
