The building of maintain ranges occurs at what type of plate boundary?a - transform
b -trench
c -convergent
d- divergent

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer is - c - convergent.

The convergent boundaries are the plate boundaries where two or more tectonic plates move towards one another. Because of the high pressure that is made on the land because of the pushing against one another by the plates the land starts to lift up. The process is pretty slow, but gradually as the land lifts up more and more and gains on elevation the first signs of a hill will appear, than small mountain, and as the process continues it can end up with a very high mountain. The Himalayas are a perfect example of the results of this type of boundary.

Answer 2
Answer: C. Convergent happens

How does deforestation affect the patterns of river flow

Answers

 It affects the river flow, because since all of those trees are cut down, there's nothing to hold the soil in place. And then, because of that, river banks will erode then causing the river to form a different shape. And when the river forms a different shape, it can cause the river pattern to change
~Hope this helped :)
it could over flow because the plants took in the water so the river is use to having a certain amount and since the plants aren't there any more to suck up the water, the level rises and goes over the edge
