Answer:
- the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
- There are five basic kinds of mountains:
- Fold Mountains (Folded Mountains)
- Fault-block Mountains (Block Mountains)
- Dome Mountains.
- Volcanic Mountains.
- Plateau Mountains.
- to bring into a compact form by bending and laying parts together (often followed by up): to fold up a map; to fold one's legs under oneself
- The word “canyon” is widely used in the United States, and the term “gorge” is widely used in Europe. Anyways, the dictionary says that a canyon is a deep valley having steep sides, and a gorge is a deep ravine with a river flowing through it or a ravine without the river.
- a state of little or no change following a period of activity or progress.

- The answer for your question are Divergent Boundaries and Subduction. Divergent boundary is a linear feature between two tectonic plates which are moving outwards. ... Here the tectonic plates will move under the force of another and eventually sink into the mantle because of the gravity.
- Plateaus are important because of the following reasons: Plateaus are storehouses of minerals. They have rich deposits of minerals. While the African Plateau has huge reserves of gold and silver, Chota Nagpur Plateau in India is famous for coal, iron and manganese deposits .
- Plains occur as lowlands along the bottoms of valleys or on the doorsteps of mountains, as coastal plains, and as plateaus or uplands. In a valley, a plain is enclosed on two sides, but in other cases a plain may be delineated by a complete or partial ring of hills, by mountains, or by cliffs.
- Mountains play a significant role in providing water and food supply to the millions of people in the world. Mountains cover around 22 percent of the surface of the earth and 13 percent of the world's population live in the mountains. ... Mountains offer 60-80 percent of the world's freshwater.
- Endogenic: The forces coming from within the earth and causing horizontal and vertical movements are known as endogenetic forces. It is these movements which lead to land upliftment and subsidence, folding and faulting, earthquakes and volcanism, etc.
- Mountains are prominent landforms that have significant heights above sea level and/or the surrounding land. They are steeper than hills. A mountain or mountain range usually has a peak, which is a pointed top. Mountains have different climates than land at sea level and nearby flat land
long Answer type questoin:
- Mountains are divided into four main types: upwarped, volcanic, fault-block, and folded (complex). Upwarped mountains form from pressure under the earth's crust pushing upward into a peak. Volcanic mountains are formed from eruptions of hot magma from the earth's core.
- Folds are commonly formed by shortening of existing layers, but may also be formed as a result of displacement on a non-planar fault (fault bend fold), at the tip of a propagating fault (fault propagation fold), by differential compaction or due to the effects of a high-level igneous intrusion e.g. above a laccolith.
diag. refers to attachment.
3.The battery must be sufficient for the intended application. This means that it must be able to produce the right current with the right voltage. It must have sufficient capacity, energy and power.

Answer:1)earth is a rocky planet which means that it has a solid rocky cover on the surface as this layer is known as lithosphere
5) plateau - plateau is the tasked area which has falt surface at its top
