There was no invasion during the War of 1812.

British strategy was to force the US into a negotiated peace through crippling its economy,and one way to do this was through a series of destructive raids on economic targets.

British standing orders to commanders were "to destroy and lay waste such towns and districts along the coast as you may find assailable" (ie undefended) - hardly orders to get ready for and carry out an invasion.British forces retreated after burning Washington D.C. in August 1814 when there were no US forces in the area threatening them,again hardly the action of an invasion force,which would be expected to maintain possession of the enemy capital once they had occupied it.

So, British incursions into US territory were designed to damage economic targets rather than to permanently occupy areas with a long term view to eventual conquest.

Lerok [7]

The correct answer is (D): The tilt of the Earth on its axis changes during the year.

Earth revolves around the Sun as it spins on its axis of the rotation once a day. While the Earth orbits the Sun, the tilt of Earth's axis stays lined up with the North Star resulting to the North Pole tilting towards the Sun. The Northern Hemisphere is normally tilted toward the sun on the summer solstice while the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun on the winter solstice. Northern Hemisphere hence expects a change in days length where the days change from short days in the winter to long days around the summer solstice on June 21st.

Answer:

The North European Plain

Explanation:

The North European plain is the most populated region of the four mentioned in the question.

This was not always the case, and until the Middle Ages, the North European Plain was sparsely populated. However, ever since, its population has been growing, because despite having a climate that is wet and cool the majority of the year, the soil is very fertile, and the lack of physical geographical barriers makes it easier for human dwelling.
