History

Answer: Glaciers caused the scarring

Explanation: Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface. Set forth in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, a geophysicist and meteorologist, continental drift also explained why look-alike animal and plant fossils, and similar rock formations, are found on different continents.

The theory of continental drift

Wegener thought all the continents were once joined together in an "Urkontinent" before breaking up and drifting to their current positions. But geologists soundly denounced Wegener's theory of continental drift after he published the details in a 1915 book called "The Origin of Continents and Oceans." Part of the opposition was because Wegener didn't have a good model to explain how the continents moved apart.

Identify regions where the English, French, and Dutch explored and established settlements. What specific issues did each face?
dimulka [17.4K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Identify regions where the English, French, and Dutch explored and established settlements.

The French established settlements mostly in the region that today is Canada. We are talking of settlements like Acadia, Newfoundland, or St. Lawrence River.  However, with the pass of time, some French settlements expanded to the region known as the Great Lakes.

In the case of the Dutch, they basically settled the territory of what today is Manhattan, in New York, around the Hudson Bay, and along the River up to Albany.

The English were the first to arrive at the North American territory and first founded the colony of Jamestown, Virginia, and then the Plymouth colony, the Massachusetts Bay colony, and many others along the Northeastern coast.

The specific issues that each faced were basically dealing with the Native American Indian tribes that already existed in North America and claimed it as its territory for obvious reasons.

The French had a better relationship with the Indians because they were mostly interested in the fur trade to make good profits. However, in the case of the English colonists, they wanted to settle more and more land to exploit the raw materials to make a profit, and this caused major conflicts and wars against the Native American Indian tribes.
