Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
The sharing of a convergent plate boundary between two continental plates results in the formation of a sandwich pattern, where the rocks at the edges of both the plates are crushed and crumbled and folded. Here the magma beneath the plates cannot rise up to the surface due to its high thickness, so it does not lead to the formation of volcanoes. For example, the Himalaya.
There is the possibility of occurring frequent landslides at the higher elevated mountainous areas due to the steeper slope of the mountains. It can also lead to the occurrence of flood, as there is the presence of plateaus that are formed at the top of the mountains that has the ability to trap water within them.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
Answer:
fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides are washed into water bodies, usually when they are being watered, these fertilizers grow algae and water plants at the surface of the water leaving minimal sunlight and oxygen to reach the marine life, this is called eutrophication.

1. Waves hitting at an angle and then bending around features of the coast is known as wave refraction.
2. Landforms associated with longshore drift form where the sediment is plentiful enough to create them.
3. When there is longshore drift, the overall direction of sand transport is parallel to the coast..
4. In order to produce longshore drift, the direction of waves must not be perpendicular to the coast.
5. A baymouth bar forms when longshore drift creates a ridge of sand separating a waterway from the ocean.
6. The direction that sediment is traveling along a coast is called the downstream direction.
Explanation:
Waves forms different kinds of land form in the coastal areas. Waves hit coast in a particular angle It is known as wave refraction. When sediments get deposited in the coastal areas and forms a bar which get detached from the shore is called long shore bar.
To create long shore drift the direction of wind should not be perpendiular to the coast. Direction will be parallel. A baymouth bar is formed when a ridge of sand is created and separates the waterway from ocean. Sediments travel along the coast in downstream direction.
Answer:
D. It completely removes any available topsoil.
Explanation:
Open pit mining strips off the top layer of the soil in order to access near surface mineral deposits. Most near surface deposits are usually rock aggregates, coal, copper etc.
In order, to access these minerals, large amount of earth must be removed by earth moving machines.
Open pit mining greatly unsettles the ecosystem in mining regions and it leaves the surface bare and not suitable for agricultural activities.
