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).

This river runs roughly in west-east direction, starting from the eastern slopes of the Andes and ending up in the Atlantic Ocean, with the majority of its flow being through the largest South American country, Brazil.
Answer:
a. prevention, minimization, reusing, recycling, energy recovery, disposal
Explanation:
The waste hierarchy is a concept used in solid waste management, which consists of identifying the basic strategies and their respective importance for waste management. According to the hierarchy, waste prevention, or reduction, is at the top, so it is the most important factor. It is followed by reuse, recycling and, finally, recovery, the landfill being the last option suggested for the destination of solid waste.
