Answer:

Continental drift in terms of plate tectonics.

Explanation:

  • Continental drift is a theory given to explain the formation of various plates or slabs on the surface of the earth and the theory is evident in the form of Alfred Wegener as a geologist who through his research and discoveries and advanced knowledge gave the concept.
  • Plates on which the landmasses and various features are made is not static as it looks and is more dynamic and was more destructive in the past as the formation of the earth during the 4.6 billion years ago the continental landmass underwent transformations and breakthrough happened as the split and rejoined and again joined to form what is seen today.
  • These plates drifted in such ways that the landmasses formed various properties of the northern and southern hemispheres. Wegener gave evidence of Jigsaw fit puzzle, drifting of the climatic zones, spreading of the plants and animals located at the same continental borders.
  • Moving of the plates under the action of gravity and wind speeds.

How will chavez's legacy be viewed in the history or Venezuela
german

Chavez's legacy in Venezuela can be viewed in two totally contrasting ways, depending on who will be writing the history.

Explanation:

Hugo Chavez was one of the last communist leaders in the world, led by communism, which unlike the majority of the communist leaders, actually had a lot of support by the people. He was leader of Venezuela for long time, and his reign was only ended because he died. As a typical communist leader, Chavez wanted to have everything under control, including the resources of the country, eliminating and suppressing any opposition, and trying to make the country as self-sustaining as possible.

The majority of the people supported him, and one of the main reasons for that was that he openly opposed the United States and the corporations, and nationalized the oil and natural gas reserves. The people of Venezuela had very bad feelings for the United States because of their interference in their country, and Chavez used it to the maximum.

When future history books are written, how would Chavez be interpreted will depended mostly on who will write the history books, as well as the political climate in the country. It can range anywhere from portraying him as national hero that protected the country, its interest, and was beloved by the people, to a brutal tyrant that isolated the country, suppressed the people, and made Venezuela stagnate.
