Plate tectonics is the theory that explains how Earth's land masses are in constant motion. Before this theory was discovered, Alfred Wegener found out about the continental drift. Its the hypothesis of how the continents drifted over the ocean bed.

The continental drift led to the theory of plate tectonics. The main reason that led to the movement of the continents is because of the movement of the plates in the lithosphere.

Plates are massive, irregularly shaped slabs of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere.

The intense heat in the Earth's core make the plates to move.

Humans can be affected by volcanic events, sea level rise, and earthquakes, all of which are related to plate tectonics.

Which of these problems occurred after South American nations gained independence? Check all that apply.
andre [41]

The correct options are: A - C -E

Compared with the American War of Independence, where nothing similar was experienced, the loss of life and the material destruction of the conflict during Spanish-American independence was extremely greater.

Indeed, it was not only a war for independence (as in the case of the United States), but there were circumstances that added to the fierceness of the struggle, including the enormous territorial extension of the war, which included the almost all of Latin America, the politics of terror practiced by both sides, the alternation of victories and defeats between the supporters of independence and those loyal to royal authority (called patriots and royalists, respectively), the exile and displacement of populations and the prolongation in time of the struggle that produced a complete ruin in many of the cities and fields of Spanish America, the loss of capital and goods of all kinds after the paralysis of trade and productive activities, and the dedication of material resources and humans to the war effort.
