Question

Consider the following information (Region — Name of the mountain range — Type of mountain):
1. Central Asia — Vosges — Fold mountain
2. Europe — Alps — Block mountain
3. North America — Appalachians — Fold mountain
4. South America — Andes — Fold mountain
In how many of the above rows is the given information correctly matched?

Accepted Answer

Let's evaluate each pair:

1. **Vosges (Central Asia):** The Vosges Mountains are located in France (Europe), not Central Asia. They are a block mountain range, not fold mountains. So this pair is incorrect on both region and type.

2. **Alps (Europe):** The Alps are located in Europe and are classic examples of young fold mountains, not block mountains. So this pair is incorrect on type.

3. **Appalachians (North America):** The Appalachian Mountains are located in eastern North America and are old fold mountains. This pair is correctly matched.

4. **Andes (South America):** The Andes are located along the western coast of South America and are young fold mountains. This pair is correctly matched.

Therefore, only two pairs (Appalachians and Andes) are correctly matched.
