A student researching mountains has taken notes:
• Mountains form through tectonic plate collisions or volcanic activity • The Himalayas are still rising a few millimeters each year • Mountain ranges affect regional weather patterns • Higher elevations have lower air pressure and less oxygen • Mountains are home to unique adapted species
The student wants to explain how mountains continue to change.
Mountains form through tectonic plate collisions or volcanic activity.
The Himalayas demonstrate that mountains continue changing—they're still rising a few millimeters each year as tectonic plates collide.
Mountain ranges significantly affect regional weather patterns.
Higher elevations have lower air pressure and less oxygen.
Correct Answer: B
Choice B. Himalayas still rising shows mountains continue changing.
