What type of process most likely created the mountain chain seen here?

• Volcanic eruptions created the mountains over millions of years.

• Tectonic plates pushed together forcing one plate under the other and then pushing the land upward.

• Earthquakes broke the earth into pieces and parts of it fell into cracks between faults.

• A river flowed through the land and created the valleys between the mountains making them appear taller.

How can plants cause the weathering of rocks?

• roots can grow into or near rocks causing the rocks to break down over a period of time.

• plants can chemically break down rocks using photosynthesis

• plant roots can use the rocks as a source of nutrients and break them down over time

• plants can release water vapor into the air that causes the rocks to break down over time.

Which of the following landforms are created over a long period of time?

• Mountains and Canyons

• Landslides and Sand dunes

• Ponds and Mountains

• Volcanic eruptions
