Don’t worry about the K number images. Only focus on the attached figure to answer whatever questions you can. Question 4(a). Generally speaking, are the mountain ranges curved or straight? Question 4(b). For the Apennines, which side of the range is steeper: the side facing toward the mare, or the side facing away from the mare? Question 4(c). What do you think is the origin of these mountain ranges? Note that on Earth, straight mountain ranges are generally produced by the colliding tectonic plates of its outer crust.
