The Himalayas are a folded mountain range which continues to grow today. Which of the following explains why we would not see that growth in our life time?

• The formation of mountains is caused by tectonic plate movement. Tectonic plates only move a few centimeters each year.

• Mountains ranges formed due to tectonic plate movement form at a rate too quickly to observe without out slow-motion video technology.

• Mountain ranges caused by tectonic plate movement only increase in height a few centimeters each year.

• Mountain ranges are not caused by tectonic plate movement.

Which of the following explains how it is possible to find plant fossils on Antarctica?

• The planet was in a different position millions of years ago. The bottom of the planet was rotated upwards allowing for more direct sunlight and warmer temps on Antarctica.

• Some plants can survive in below freezing temps.

• The continents have shifted locations over millions of years. At one point Antarctica was located closer to the equator.

• Antarctica shift locations on a yearly basis. These fossils are probably just a few years old when Antarctica was closer to the equator.
