Answer:

The best answer to the question: When Pangea split up what happened to the western edge of the North American continent, would be: vast valleys were formed between the divinding Northwestern Africa and North America and these valleys were filled with ocean water from the old Panthalassa ocean, to form the central Atlantic Ocean.

Explanation:

With the use of the tectonic plate theory scientist today know that over 200 million years ago there was one mega continent known as Pangea, and a huge ocean that surrounded it known as Panthalassa. However, this super continent began to break apart around 180 million years ago, explained by the tectonic plate theory, and this break up, especially between the earlier joined northwestern side of Africa and North America created a series of coastal valleys that were filled with the water from Panthalassa and created the central Atlantic Ocean. Changes continued throughout the centuries, and even today changes are still taking place due to the movement of tectonic plates.

Define "paranoia." How was the paranoia of the 20s expressed? How was it related to isolationism?

elixir [45]

Paranoia refers to a feeling that can exist in humans and which is heavily influenced by anxiety or by fear. People who suffer from this often feel themselves to be persecuted, or hated and threatened by everyone. These people might also believe in conspiracies, which can result in irrational fear.

During the 1920s, the country experienced a period of paranoia. The trauma of World War I was fresh in people's minds, and many were fearful of ever being threatened in such a way again. This led to a strong fear of the "other." This was expressed in practices such as increased racism (ex. the rise of the Ku Klux Klan) or political intolerance (ex. the Red Scare against communists). This was also expressed through isolationism, as many people believed that by keeping the country free of foreign influence, they would be less threatened by dangerous foreign forces, such as communism.
