Answer:
- The French gave the colonists money and supplies in secret.
- The Spanish closed the Port of New Orleans to the British
Explanation:
The French helped in the Revolutionary war in no small way by providing the American colonists with money and supplies. They did this in secret at first and then became more public about it such that they even sent soldiers to fight alongside the Colonists.
The Spanish also helped by closing off the port of New Orleans to the British and even using it to stage attacks against them. They did this because they were allied to France and therefore in effect, the Colonists as well.
Paris is in the North Hemisphere.
The divergent plate boundaries are the places where the tectonic plates move away from each other. As they move part, which is actually driven by the convection currents in the mantle, they leave a gap between them of very thin and cracked crust. The convection currents manage to push the magma up with easy through this gap. As the magma pushes upward, it reaches the ocean floor, where the temperatures is significantly lower and it quickly cools off and forms new igneous rocks, or rather new crust. Since the magma is constantly rising and constantly making new crust, the new crust is pilling up, forming a mid ocean ridge with intense volcanic activity. Eventually, the rising magma will manage to come out on the surface and create volcanic islands, thus a chain of volcanic islands, which can even result in the formation of new large land of mass.
Seasonal changes appear because the Earth's axis is not stable throughout the year. It is tilted (so the correct answer is A) in a way that brings the Norther Hemisphere closer to the Sun around July and the Southern closer to the Sun around December.
