Water drainage O Tectonic plates None of the above Climate regions

Answer 1

Himalayas = Collision of the Indian plate with Asia

Rocky Mountains= Old, eroded, and folded crust

Alps =  Collision of the African and Eurasian plates

Appalachian Mountains =  Shallow Oceanic-Continental subduction.

Sierra Nevada Mountains = A normal fault in on one side

7) Strongest earthquake In US occured in the year 1964 which was measured to be a magnitude of 9.2 on richter scale in the state of Alaska which was infact most powerful in the north american continent.

So it occured in the west coast.

8) the continental divide along the rocky mountains divide water drainage
