No 1.
I think the best answer is letter (a), because the building of the Andes and Himalayas mountain is so great.
Please surf for the geophysical properties of the above names of mountains, it may help.
No.2
I think the best answer is letter (e),
You may access the satellite view with "goggle earth" to have some perspective of these mountains. This may help...
I took my GEOPHYSICS course in 1982 with a professor named Kenneth Gibson, an American Geophysicist who visited in the Philippines for quite sometime now.
Sorry, I need to refresh my geophysics.
My field of specialization is in Electromagnetism.

Although the Andes and the Himalayas were formed in different locations, they are both the result of the same process: plate tectonics in the earth's crust.

Himalayas and Andes was an old radio program that used white people posing as blacks in New York and involved the Sunshine cab company. It moved to TV where obviously blacks had to be the cast and is credited as being the first television show where blacks had a prominent part. Andy, Amos and dont forget Kingfish.
