<span>Stress is the force applied to an object. In geology, stress is the force per unit area that is placed on a rock. There are four types of stresses that act on materials. A deeply buried rock is pushed down by the weight of all the material above it. Since the rock is trapped in a single spot, it is as if the rock is being pushed in from all sides. This pushing causes the rock to become compressed, but it cannot deform because there is no place for it to move. This is called confining stress. Compression is the stress that squeezes rocks together. Compression causes rocks to fold or fracture . When cars driving around a parking lot collide, compression causes the cars to crumple. Compression is the most common stress at convergent plate boundaries Rocks that are being pulled apart are under tension (also called extension). Tension causes rocks to lengthen or break apart. Tension is the major type of stress found at divergent plate boundaries. When forces act parallel to each other but in opposite directions, the stress is called shear. Shear stress causes two planes of material to slide past each other. This is the most common stress found at transform plate boundaries.</span>

Women had little or no role in _____. farm work public life raising children supporting the family
sesenic [268]

The correct answer is "public life".

Women had little or no role in public life.

In the early nineteenth century, a new gender ideology started to appear in which women were to the home, which was also called "private sphere," while men's job was defined as the "public sphere." While there was an obvious gender difference still there were a few women who occupied public posts.

Dubai creek and Khor Fakkan creek are UAE's tangible heritage. Agree or Disagree. Why? Explain your answer.
asambeis [7]
Khor Dubai (Dubai Creek in English) is a natural seawater inlet of the Arabian Gulf located in the heart of Dubai with 14 kilometres length and between 100-500 meters width that runs South-East and ends at Ras Al-Khor wildlife Sanctuary. The creek divides the city into two parts: Bur Dubai and Deira, and has played a major role in the economic development of the region throughout history.
The first recorded reference to Dubai dates back to 1587, when the Venetian pearl merchant Gaspero Balbi visited the area and wrote of Dubai’s pearling industry. However, the earliest known description of Dubai Creek is found in an 1822 report by a British Royal Navy officer. The creek was likely the actual raison d’être of Dubai’s creation and early development as a trading port; the start point for which could perhaps be taken as 1833, when some 800 members of the Bani Yas tribe, led by Sheikh Maktoum bin Buti Al-Falasi, settled in the Bur Dubai area, at the mouth of the creek.
