Thermal Convection, ridge push and slab pull are believed to be the processes that cause plate tectonics to move. Thermal convection is a process when the core of the Earth’s heat is transferred to Earth’s surface by mantle. Ridge push is when the mantle wells upward due to convection and raises the edge of spreading oceanic plates. Since the plates are higher at the spreading center, they are forced downhill because of gravity as a result, the ocean floor is flatten. Slab pull is the part of tectonic plates’ motion which can be accounted for through its subduction.

How did Hong Xiuquan attract followers for his rebellion against the Qing dynasty?
34kurt

Answer:

Hong Xiuquan first began preaching his own interpretation of Christianity among his closest circle and began to attract many followers, including a similar organisation in the neighbouring province of Guangxi. There, a large population of peasants, of whom many were Hakka, found hope and purpose in Hong’s vision.

Explanation:

Hong’s rebels expanded into neighbouring districts, and on Jan. 1, 1851, Hong’s 37th birthday, he proclaimed his new dynasty, the Taiping Tianguo (“Heavenly Kingdom of Great Peace”) and assumed the title of Tianwang, or “Heavenly King.” The Taipings pressed north through the fertile Yangtze River (Chang Jiang) valley.

Hong showed peasant rebellion could work in the modern age. This was one of the lessons the Communists took from the Taipings. The two rebellions in fact had much in common, but - one key difference - while Hong started lucky and got unlucky, Mao had it the other way round.

After leaving Roberts, Hong joined Feng and the God Worshippers and was immediately accepted as the new leader of the group. Conditions in the countryside were deplorable, and sentiment ran high against the Qing dynasty rulers. As a result, Hong and Feng began to plot the rebellion that finally began in July 1850.

When the teacher in milgram's obedience study received orders over the phone instead of face-to-face, the level of obedience:?
Elena-2011 [213]
The correct answer is decreased. 

When the teachers in Milgram's study were ordered to administer shocks to others on the phone, their level <span>of obedience decreased compared to when they were given orders in person. A explanation for this is that lack of physical proximity and real time feedback and reactions from the experimenter was absent during phone calls. Due to this it was easier for teachers to disobey the experimenter's commands. </span>
