Answer:

Mantle convection currents, ridge push and slab pull are three of the forces that have been proposed as the main drivers of plate movement (based on What drives the plates? Pete Loader). There are a number of competing theories that attempt to explain what drives the movement of tectonic plates.

Let a= 6 cm, b = 8 cm and c ?

charle [14.2K]

Follow the Pythagorean theorem which is $a^{2} + b^{3} = c^{2}$

So fill in what we know which is a and b to get
$6^{2} + 8^{2} = c^{2}$
then solve the squares to get
36+64= $c^{2}$
add the two numbers to get
100= $c^{2}$
then square root each side to get
10=c

Hope I could help, and I am really good at the Pythagorean theorem so if you need more help just let me know.

In a paragraph of 125 words, describe why ethnic conflict is common in Sub-Saharan Africa.

patriot [66]

Answer:

Ethnic conflict is common in Sub-Saharan Africa mainly because colonizers established political borders without considering cultural divisions, and most countries have diverse ethnic groups. As a result, the people of Sub-Saharan Africa are generally most local to their cultural group.
