Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.New
mountains are built when rocks are pushed upwards by the movment of
the giant rocky plates that make up the Earth's crust. The rocks
are pushed upwards in two ways: fold mountains are formed when
layers of rock become buckled, and block mountains are formed when
giant lumps of rock rise or fall. Volcanic eruptions also create
mountains. Many mountain ranges have been built up and eroded away
since the Earth was formed. The Andes is the longest mountain range
on land. it was formed along the western margin of South America,
where two tectonic plates (rocky plates that make up the Earth's
crust) collided. The mountains are still rising by about 10 cm (4
in) every century. The world's major mountain ranges, such as the
Andes, the Himalayas, and the Alps are situated along the
boundaries where tectonic plates collide. These ranges formed in
the last few hundred million years, so they are quite young.
Look at the statements below. Decide whether the following
statement is true or false. Base your answer on the information in
the passage. Tick each statement true or false.
