Why does platinum metal make a good catalytic surface for reactant molecules? It causes reactant molecules to be less reactive.
It strengthens bonds between reactant molecules.
It prevents products from breaking away from the surface.
It holds reactant molecules in a good position for them to react.

Rocks, as they are compressed, begin forming mountains above the earth's surface when two continental plates converge. the continental crust increases in depth as the mountains grow above. the himalayan mountains formed at a convergent plate boundary in this manner. the rocks are smashed together causing them to due to the intense heat and pressure from the colliding plates and eventually forming rock. a) melt; igneous b) layer; sedimentary c) recrystallize; metamorphic d) melt into the earth's interior; metamorphic
