Which statement is true about the process of accretion?
a-it causes fragments of crust to disconnect and drift away from continental landmasses.
b-it results in embedded volcanic island arcs and microcontinents being left behind.
c-it reduces continental landmasses while forming mountains along the edges of continents.
d-it enlarges continental landmasses and forms mountains along the edges of continents.

Option (D)

Explanation:

When continental plates collides with one another, it forms a sandwich pattern, in which the rocks undergoes compression. As a result of which, the landmass rises, forming huge mountain ranges. This mountains so formed are bigger in size as well as in area. This materials get accumulated due to the plate tectonic movement. For example, the Himalaya.

According to the process of accretion, the continental landmass also increases in area and size due to the addition of materials by the weathering and erosion of the nearby rocks by the agents such as wind, ice and water.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

interphase   is the cell cycle stage in which the cell acquires nutrients, creates and uses proteins and other molecules and starts the process of cell division by replicating the dna. it is the longest stage in the eukaryote cell cycle.

the following   can go wrong during interphase:   a base pair could be mismatched during the duplication process causing a mutation.   correct answer: c

explanation:

b) the inside picture would look at a very high temperature in a very low ph
