Question

A.) weathering and erosion work to build high plateaus and mountain ranges
B.) the process of melting returns material to our surface
C.) material from earth interior is always returned to the surface
D .) material from the Earth surface is returned to the interior

Answer 1

When one tectonic plate slides beneath another, the correct answer is:

D.) material from the Earth's surface is returned to the interior.

This process is known as subduction, where an oceanic plate is typically forced down into the mantle beneath a continental plate or another oceanic plate, leading to the recycling of materials into the Earth's interior.
