13 ESS Volcanoes and Mountains 1 If you assume that the Himalayas will continue to be uplifted at the current rate of 1 cm per year how long will it take the mountains to rise another 500 m 2 Assuming a rate of uplift of 1 cm per year how much higher could the Himalayas be in one million years 3 If the convergence of tectonic plates is causing the Himalayas to rise is elevation what common surface processes are working to decrease their elevations 4 Will the Himalayas continue to rise in elevation forever Explain your answer D Continental Accretion 1 Terranes Ferranes any crustal fragments that has a geologic history distinct from that of the 2 How does the process of accretion work Of large crustal fragment as a mature island are 3 Mountains from accretion 4 How does the theory of plate tectonics help explain the existence of marine fossils in sedimentary rocks on top of the Himalayas 5 A geologist collects rock samples as she travels inland from the alaska coast First she finds rock from an island arc then a rock from oceanic crust the rock from a microcontinent What can she infer about the origin of the land in this area Explain
