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.

What is the difference between slavery and indentured servitude? Why did slavery replace indentured servitude in the colonies?
RoseWind [281]
Indentured servants were people residing in the colonies who would sign a work contract, usually for 6 or so years, in exchange for land or even getting their crimes pardoned. Indentured servants were NOT considered to be property of the contract holder and upon their contract being up, they were able to be an equal part of the community (able to own property and vote). A slave was brought over from Africa (mainly) against their will and had no definite contract. Sometimes slave holders would let the slave buy their way to freedom, but most were slaves for life. If they could "buy" their way out, they received nothing in return for their laboring years and could not own property or vote. 
Slavery became the most popular form of labor in the colonies because the slave owners did not have to give the slaves anything in return, could have them indefinitely, and in all honesty just didn't view them as people. It was both a moral issue as well as the fact that the slave owners could just save more money in the end.

Which theory of language holds that the language we use determines how we think and perceive reality?.
stepladder [879]

The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, commonly referred to as the linguistic relativity hypothesis, makes the claim that how one thinks about reality depends on the language one speaks.

<h3>What is the explanation for the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis?</h3>

According to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, a person's language's grammatical and more verbal structure affects how they see the outside world. It stresses how language shapes or has an impact on one's thoughts. For instance, in other languages, various words have distinct meanings.

According to the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, one's thoughts are either determined by or influenced by language. In other words, depending on the language used to describe the world, people who speak various languages have different perspectives on it.
