To maintain a constant global average temperature, all of the sun's radiation that enters Earth's atmosphere must eventually be sent back to space. This is achieved through Earth's energy balance. ... ~50% of the incoming energy is absorbed by the earth's surface i.e. the land and oceans.

Answer:
The crust broke up because of the convection currents, formed tectonic plates, and is slowly pushed on the surface until it collides with another plate and subducts.
Explanation:
This image gives us the basics of how the plate tectonics theory works. The material in the upper mantle is cooler and denser than the material in the lower mantle, so it drops down and it pushes the hotter and less dense material up. This creates a circular motion in the mantle, and this motion creates enormous pressure on the crust above it and breaks it up.
As the crust is broken up, magma is rising constantly for millions of years, so the new magma pushes the old solidified one further away. This also pushes two pieces of crust away from each other. As the crusts move away, they eventually collide with another plate, and either gradually merge with it, or a subduction zone is created. In the latter, the crust moves below another crust and into the mantle, where it gets melted and recycled.
Explanation:
The St. Lawrence seaway helped because it was large enough to allow shipping transportation to the USA. Which allowed Canada and the USA to trade goods. The seaway extends from Montreal through the Welland Canal in Ontario, Canada, to the eastern portion of Lake Erie.
