The correct answer is b. - tsunamis.
Tsunami is a Japanese word meaning harbor wave.
Tsunamis are giant waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea. This usually happens deep out in the ocean. The earth movement causes a displacement of water in the form of a large ripple which begins to move inland at tremendous speed.
There is no dramatic increase in height of the wave, but as it moves toward the coast, it builds up to a higher and higher height as the ocean becomes shallower and shallower till when it makes land fall, the wave may be dozens of feet high.
Answer:
Explanation:
It is the most radical and violent period of French Revolution. It followed the death of king Louis XVI who was guillotined in Paris. The radical party of the Jacobines took control of the National Assembly. Terror and repression were extensively used to crush real and suspected enemies. War was fought against Austria and Prussia where the revolutionary government thought emigrés were plotting against the republic. Many executions were carried out under orders of Maximilien Robespierre, head of the ruthless and feared Committee of Public Security. Many leaders of the revolution were guillotined, even Robespierre himself. Those were times of chaos and uncertainty in France. The 1799 coup d´état of Napoleon put an end to chaos.
The New England colonies were more focused on the Religion as the people who came there from Europe tended to be pilgrims (a Traveler who is on a journey to a holy place) and were more isolated and had very small farms just to provided for its owners. The middle colonies were mostly ports and industry as well as lumber, they built ships and the south was used for cash crops some examples of cash crops were cotton, tobacco, rice,wheat, rye, corn, barley,potatoes) and food and required the most slaves because it was the least populated
Despite the desire of the French people for representative government, Napoleon sincerely believed that in fact the French had an instinctive need for some form of monarchy. He will provide a French monarchy more efficient, more ruthless and more powerful than any other in the "Ancien Regime." He will not only restrict the freedoms of the French, but undermined the Equality that was so dearly brought in the early years of the Revolution.
As emperor, he has recreated a French aristocracy, rewarding his generals with noble titles and estates. In all, there were a thousand barons, four hundred counts and thirty-two dukes in the Napoleonic nobility. He also turned his back on the religious attitudes of the Revolution by restoring Catholicism in France, and signing an agreement with the Pope in the Concordat of 1801.
Finally, I would point out that Napoleon had the art to preserve the appearance of continuity with the revolutionaries of 1789. Although the Constitution meant little in practice, he maintained the idea of constitutional government, while he was in fact a "dictator." However, Napoleon insisted that he was the representative of the French people with their approval, expressed in popular votes.
Answer:
The Black Codes, sometimes called Black Laws, were laws governing the conduct of African Americans (free blacks). The best known of them were passed in 1865 and 1866 by Southern states, after the American Civil War, in order to restrict African Americans' freedom, and to compel them to work for low wages. However, Black Codes existed before the Civil War, and many Northern states had them. In 1832, "in most of the United States, there is a distinction in respect to political privileges, between free white persons and free coloured persons of African blood; and in no part of the country do the latter, in point of fact, participate equally with the whites, in the exercise of civil and political rights."
