Explanation / Answer

4. B. The pacific plate caused the folding of sedimentary layers atop the North American Craton.. During the growth of the Rocky Mountains, the angle of the subducting plate may have been significantly flattened, moving the focus of melting and mountain building much farther inland than is normally expected.

5. Extension. It is a result of crustal extension of the lithosphere.

7. Stratovolcano
