On the geological maps in question, the cratonic basins that contain thick sequences of sedimentary rocks which overly the Precambrian basement, show the <em><u>youngest rocks</u></em> toward the center of the basin.
Geological maps are tools created and used by scientists to show the arrangement of the geological elements of a specific area. This can include:
- Rock types
- Cracks and faults
- Minerals
- Groundwater
- Ages
and much more, depending on the area and detail of the map created.
On a detailed geo-map, we can understand not only the area we are initially standing on but also where to find geological areas with similar sediment compositions and information on the age of the rocks. This is done due to the way the map stacks the units in terms of age, from the <u>youngest </u>at the <em><u>top </u></em>to the <u>oldest </u>at the <em><u>bottom</u></em>.
Cratonic basins are areas where geological elements are widely distributed and often filled with <u>shallow water </u>as well as <u>sedimentary rocks</u>. The rocks at the center of these basins show the <em><u>youngest</u></em> <em><u>rocks </u></em>at the center due to the previously mentioned <u>aging sequence </u>used by the <u>maps</u>.

Answer:
Portugal ⇒ Ruled east of the line of demarcation
After the New World was rediscovered by the European powers and saw competition between the Spanish and the Portuguese, Pope Alexander VI came up with a Line of Demarcation to divide the New World. Portugal was to rule over every land east of the line which is why they colonized Brazil.
Russia ⇒ Controlled what is Alaska today.
Russia controlled what is Alaska today but then decided to sell it to the United States rather than risking the British taking it by forced and adding it to Canada.
Britain ⇒ Controlled the area of today's eastern United States.
Britain ruled the eastern part of today's United States and it was here that they established the colonies that became the first states of the United States of America when these colonies defeated the British in the American Revolution.
Spain ⇒ Ruled west of the land of demarcation
As explained above, Pope Alexander VI came up with a Line of Demarcation. This allowed Spain to rule lands west of this line such that they gained colonies such as Mexico and countries to the west of South America.
