Answer:

Alfred Wegener

Explanation:

The speculation that continents might have 'drifted' was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596. The concept was independently and more fully developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912, but his theory was rejected by many for lack of any motive mechanism.

Like other major cities, Los Angeles has experienced violence and civil unrest. Why did Los Angeles experience riots in 1992? Qu
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The Los Angeles riots of 1992 were a series of serious riots, looting, and arson that took place in Los Angeles County, California in 1992. These were the largest riots in the United States since the 1967 Detroit riots, the largest in Los Angeles since the 1965 Watts riots, and the riots with the highest number of deaths since the 1863 riots in New York.

The riots began on April 29, 1992, when a jury acquitted four white policemen accused of beating a black taxi driver Rodney King, who resisted to be arrested. A video showing King being beaten by police officers was released to the media. As a result, thousands of African American citizens in Los Angeles, considering the verdict as unfair, took to the streets. The riots lasted six days. The crowd carried out thefts, assaults and arson, with losses estimated at over 1 billion dollars. Peace on the streets was restored only after members of the National Guard of California, 7th Infantry Division and the 1st Maritime Division were called to prevent further riots when the local police were unable to control the situation. In total, 63 people were killed during the riots, 2,383 people were injured, over 12,000 were arrested and 3,767 buildings were burned.
