Explanation:
Pangea was a super-continent on the earth which formed about 330 million years ago during the Paleozoic and began breaking up during the early Mesozoic, about 175 million years ago.
Most of the present day continents formed as a result of the separation of the Pangea in the early Mesozoic.
The first scientist to propose the existence of this super-continent was Alfred Wegener in 1912. He suggested the continental drift hypothesis to explain the separation of the land masses.
Today, the theory has been revised to the theory of plate tectonics which provides a better mechanism to understand the drifting of the continents.
Here are some of the evidences to support the existence of Pangea;
- Using fossil evidences: Mesosaurus, a reptile animal that lived during the Permian, was found in both South America and Southern Africa. Since this animal could not swim nor fly, only a jointed landmass could have made them present in both continents.
- Similar rock lithologies at the edges of continents: rock formations at the Western edge of Africa and South - Eastern part of Brazil matches with one another and have been believed to be once joined together.
- Climatic clues such as glacial tills that are confined to temperate and polar regions have been found in tropical regions.
- Wegener fitted the present day continent into a giant supercontinent and this provided a visual support for his claim.
- Evidences from sea floor spreading revealing magnetic reversals at divergent margins suggests the prevalence of plate tectonics i.e moving plates on earth.
This among many other evidences underscores the existence of a supercontinent called Pangea.
Answer:
The European settlement in the Americas from 1500 to 1790 was most often voluntary migration.
Explanation:
Voluntary migration; is correct because the vast majority of the people from Europe that migrated to the Americas in this period migrated voluntarily, be it because of economic reasons or because of their adventuristic nature.
Internal migration; is not correct because this is a migration that happens within the borders of a country.
Interregional migration; is not correct because the migration was going only in one direction, but in several regions from multiple regions.
International migration; is not correct because the migration was limited, a lot of people from other parts of the world were not allowed to.
Forced migration; is not correct because this was not the principle used for this particular migration.

Explanation:
The European Union is a unique economic and political union between 27 EU countries that together cover much of the continent. The predecessor of the EU was created in the aftermath of the Second World War. ... A name change from the European Economic Community (EEC) to the European Union (EU) in 1993 reflected this.
Hope this helps!!
I believe it would be Quebec, since Quebec is a predominantly French speaking province of Canada
