Answer:
1) The Sahara Desert
Explanation:
The Sahara Desert is known as the hottest desert in the world. The Sahara is spread over an area of more than 3,600,000 square miles in North Africa.
The desert divides the continent of Africa into two parts - North and Sub-Saharan Africa, creating distinct cultures in both areas. The division between North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa is not only a physical division, but it also divides the continent in other ways.
Most northern African countries share cultural characteristics with countries in the neighboring Middle East. The most notable characteristic that binds the northern countries is the presence of the Islamic religion in these countries.
The desert has protected Sub-Saharan Africa from invasion from countries in the north. The Sub-Saharan region is home to many natural resources, but as a result of European colonization, mining companies have exploited many of these resources and other businesses related to the industry. This left Sub-Saharan Africa with a high rate of poverty.
B. The uppermost part of the mantle is made up of the tectonic plates.
In 1786, Virginians called a convention in Annapolis to discuss problems with the protectionist trade barriers each state had erected. The colonists did not like this, because the colonies were more independent than they are now and they did not want the big, centralized government to decide how they were able to trade and who they were able to trade with. They also wanted to broaden their trade, to not only do commercial trade, but bigger trade.
