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?
(a) Only one
(b) Only two
(c) Only three
(d) All four
Correct Answer: Only two
Explanation:
• The Vosges in Central Asia is incorrectly listed as it is located in Europe and is a block mountain.
• The Alps in Europe are fold mountains, not block mountains.
• The Appalachians in North America are correctly listed as fold mountains.
• The Andes in South America are correctly listed as fold mountains.
Therefore, only two rows (Appalachians and Andes) are correctly matched.
