What do you think could have been done to prevent the tea party MOVEMENT from happening?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
One of the main reasons, I think, that they revolted was because the British had put a lot of taxes on the goods of the American colonists. One of the big things they taxed was tea. I think that if the British would have gone lighter on the taxes, especially the tea ones, the movement might have not happened.
Tea was a big thing at the time so obviously if they had to pay taxes for something they truly loved, it would make them upset.
I hope this helps, I’m not sure exactly when the question you’re asking is about but I tried :)

Which process causes hillsides and mountains to gradually get smaller?
dybincka [34]

erosion and land water cause the ground to do either two things. 

erosion causes the soil on top to be picked up by moving water or pounding and splashing water from the rain. this soil is usually moved to the bottom or to the lowest level around it.  

land water, which causes the soil under to become softer and is able to become more and more compact and able to turn to petrified soil or even rock.

What are three differences between brittle and plastic strain (may include both characteristics of the strain as well as the con
stich3 [128]

Answer:

elastic deformation: the rock returns to its original shape when the stress is removed.

plastic deformation: the rock does not return to its original shape when the stress is removed.

fracture: the rock breaks.

Explanation:

Stress is the force applied to an object. In geology, stress is the force per unit area that is placed on a rock. Four types of stresses act on materials.

A deeply buried rock is pushed down by the weight of all the material above it. Since the rock cannot move, it cannot deform. This is called confining stress.

Compression squeezes rocks together, causing rocks to fold or fracture (break) (figure 1). Compression is the most common stress at convergent plate boundaries.

Rocks that are pulled apart are under tension. Rocks under tension lengthen or break apart. Tension is the major type of stress at divergent plate boundaries.

When forces are parallel but moving in opposite directions, the stress is called shear (figure 2). Shear stress is the most common stress at transform plate boundaries.

Stress In Earth’s Crust

Enormous slabs of lithosphere move unevenly over the planet’s spherical surface, resulting in earthquakes. This chapter deals with two types of geological activity that occur because of plate tectonics: mountain building and earthquakes. First, we will consider what can happen to rocks when they are exposed to stress.
