(1) Earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop Earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) The plates are called

tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) They can move because Earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) Volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) Also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) Therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) Plates may also collide. (8) When that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) For example, the collision of the plate carrying the Indian subcontinent created the Himalayan Mountains when it collided with the Asian plate.

Read the passage and study the image from Sugar Changed the World. The painstaking work had just one aim: to plant a crop that w
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

It shows how enslaved people were exposed to the outside elements and weather.

Explanation:

"Sugar Changed the World" by arc Aronson and Marina Budhos gave an insight into how the spices that we daily use came about. Particularly, the history of sugar that almost everyone can't stay without is traced in this narrative where they provide the 'journey' of how sugar came to be.

As found in the excerpt from the book, the narrator reveals that the slaves did not have a time of rest. Even after their work is done for the day, there is no respite at home, for their houses were in the open and thus, made them vulnerable to diseases. Likewise, the photo by V. C. Vulto shows enslaved people's huts with <em>"no doors and are built on sandy, open ground with no trees nearby".</em>

Thus, the <u>image helps the readers understand the conditions of the slaves, exposed to the outside elements and weather.</u>

In the short story "Once Upon a Time" it is ironic that the white boy's body is trapped in a barbed wire fence put in place
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

The old system has died, and a new society will depend on racial cooperation.

Explanation:

In this story, we see an example of irony. The story shows us that the white family believes in the traditional way of being. They have internalized the idea that white people are superior to black people, and that this makes them natural masters and rulers. This idea of white supremacy is exemplified in the white boy. However, when the white boy's body is trapped in a barbed wire fence, this is a symbol of the death of the old regime and the beginning of a new era. This new era is represented by the cooperation that can be seen between the white parents, and the black servants.
