The correct answers are:

1. D. the Andes Mountains

- The collision between the South American tectonic plate and the Nazca tectonic plate has caused the formation of the Andes Mountains. Because the two tectonic plates in question have the same densities, they push towards each other and from the pressure that's created the ground had started lifting and over time created the most famous mountains of the South American continent.

2. C. a parka

Tierra del Fuego is on the Southernmost part of the South American continent and it is a place that is very cold and has strong chilling winds for most of the year, so a big thick warm coat like the parka is a must to have item to keep you warm and not let hypothermia do its thing and cause damage or even death.

because the two particles have an equal charge, the charges will cancel out and give the atom an overall charge of 0. so, if at atom has 35 protons in the nucleus, we could expect it to have 35 electrons orbiting that nucleus.
