Africa's colonial legacy created lot of problems because of the manner in which the borders of the countries were set.

Explanation:

Africa was a continent that was in full colonized by the imperial powers of Europe. During this period, the borders were set according to the interests of the imperial powers, and that has continued when the African countries gained independence. Once the African countries gained independence during the 20th century, they had their borders set by their former colonizers, and this resulted in chaos in the years and decades to follow.

The newly formed countries had borders that were again set in accordance to the powers of Europe and their interests, or in the manner they thought would be the best. This led to the formation of countries were two or more ethnic or religious groups were put in the same borders. While this doesn't seem to be much of an issue in the West, in Africa it led to lot of conflicts because it was ethnic and religious groups that openly hated each other and attacked each other. Numerous wars, civil wars, genocides, and splits of countries occurred, and lot of countries have huge internal problems even nowadays.

Some of Europe's countries that were involved in the colonization of Africa were:

  • Great Britain
  • France
  • Portugal
  • Germany
  • Belgium

IgorC [24]

Answer:

All of the above are correct.

Explanation:

The Mughal Empire was an empire that existed in India for several centuries. It emerged as a military power in Central Asia, but it set its eyes on India and after successive military campaigns big portion of India was conquered. The Mughals were of mixed Turkic and Mongol ancestry when they came to India, and they were also Muslim, while over time there was also gradual Persian influence.

This resulted in bringing in new cultural characteristics which resulted in some changes in India. A new type of art was introduced, the style of architecture changed, and there was a big religious influence. The legacy can be seen even nowadays, as the artistic elements that the Mughals brought in are still present, the architecture as well, with a lot of historical monuments being made by them, and a large portion of the population in the Indian subcontinent is Muslim.

Use evidence from the section titled I'm Very Young to explain the difference in age between rock samples found on the Atlantic
White raven [17]

Answer:

The rocks at the bottom of the ocean are younger than the rocks on the continent. This can be pessible due to the process called Continental Drift.

Explanation:

For a long time the human being wondered what would be the age relationship between the rocks at the bottom of the ocean and the rocks of the continent. Which rocks were younger or older? The scientific advance that humanity achieved during the second world war allowed this question to be answered, as it was during this period that "sonar" was created, a device that is able to reveal the ocean floor

From the creation of this device, and other equipment, scientists were able to study the underwater mountains known as oceanic dorsals. During these studies, scientists were able to create methods of donating rocks and were able to conclude that the closer to the oceanic mountains the rocks were, the younger they were. On the other hand, the closer to the continent, the rocks were, the older they were. They will conclude that this must have been influenced by the phenomenon called continental drift, which refers to the movement of the masses of the planet over a period of time.
