According to plate tectonic theory, the movement of plates is by thermal energy from earth core. The energy drives convective current which moves the plates.

In addition to the convective current, another factor that drives the movement of plates is the difference in density of plates and their underlying layers. Plates will sink down if they are denser and lift up if they are lighter.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The cultural landscape of Dar es Salaam is a composite of several different culture groups which have administered the place. British policy stimulated the development of a district of 3 to 4 storey apartments reminiscent of Bombay.

Explanation:

Dar es Salaam is a city in Tanzania, it is very populous and has been inhabited by several different cultural groups. Its name means "House of Peace" and jpa became the capital of Tanzania. The different peoples who lived in that city generated a strong cultural diversity and an even greater population. This caused British policy (which dominated this place for a while) to create a project that enabled the development of apartments with 3 to 4 floors. This changed the visual identity of the region and made it look like Bombay.

PLEASE HELP ME ANSWER THIS…thank you
Murrr4er [49]

Answer: It is not realy a "split". That would imply two relatively large groups. The fact is that at least 85% of those who call themselves Muslim are all from one group. They are the people who follow the Qur'an and the example of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). They are called 'sunni' Muslims, by some people. In fact, they are simply true Muslims.

The other 15% are all deviant sects that have corrupted the true, original teachings. Anyone who studies Islam can see how the other groups have changed the original message.

Shiites, Ahmadiyyah, Alawi, Ismaili, Druze are some names of deviant groups.

In fact, Muhammad said that there would be such deviants; and he condemned their teachings as leading away from God. He said that the only rightly-guided group would be the one that stuck to the Qur'an and to his example. We thank God that it is the clear majority.

For an understanding of why the Shiite sect developed, you can go to Wikipedia for a detailed explanation. For examples of how they have gone astray from the healthy and true religion, you can go to You Tube and search: Real Shiah Faces.
