Suppose that tomorrow someone bulldozed all the rocks in the appalachians, right down to sea level, and shipped all of those bulldozed rocks to uzbekistan to build ski slopes. a few thousand years from now, we probably would find that the surface of the earth exposed by the bulldozers was:
a) higher than the appalachians are today, because of volcanic eruptions triggered by the bulldozers. b) almost, but not quite, as high as the appalachians are today, because the roots of the mountains bobbed up. c) at sea level. d) as high as the appalachians are today, because of obduction. e) as high as the appalachians are today, because the roots of the mountains bobbed up.

Geothermic gradient is the rate of increasing temperature with respect to increasing the depth in the earths interior. away from tech tonic plates boundaries, it is about 25-40 c/km (72-87 degrees f/mi) of depth near the surface in most of the world.

There is no map could you put up a picture of the map and i will try to .

Ok so i just did that quiz and here are the answers: 1. how is continental crust different from oceanic crust? a. continental crust is more dense and contains a lot of basalt.b.continental crust is thinner and younger. < c. oceanic crust is thinner and younger.d.oceanic crust is thicker and contains a lot of granite.2. where do subduction zones often occur? a.where a continental plate is being split into two partsb.where an oceanic plate is moving toward a continental plate < c.where two oceanic plates are moving away from each otherd.where two continental plates are colliding3. at which type of boundary do lithospheric plates collide? a.convection boundariesb.contour boundariesc.gravitational boundariesd.convergent boundaries < 4. what is the best description of a convergent boundary? a.plates that move side by side past each otherb.plates that are attracted to each other by gravity  c.plates that move away from each otherd.plates that move toward each other < 5. how can mountain formation be described according to the theory of plate tectonics? a.as two continental plates collide along a convergent boundary, mountains are formed. < b.as a continental plate and an oceanic plate come together at a divergent boundary, mountains are formed.c.as any two plates meet at a fault line boundary, mountains are formed.d. as two continental plates move past each other at a transform boundary, mountains are formed.
