The Pacific Ocean is shrinking while the Atlantic Ocean is expanding. Which type of plate boundary must be involved in each loca
V125BC [204]
If the Pacific Ocean is shrinking (seafloor is disappearing) and the Atlantic Ocean is expanding (seafloor is being formed), the types of plate boundaries that must be involved in each location are A. Pacific Ocean, convergent; Atlantic Ocean, divergent. At convergent boundaries, denser land suducts beneath lighter land. In an ocean's case, the seafloor is always more dense than the continent it is colliding with. This means that the seafloor subducts beneath the continent and slowly travels back to the mantle. At divergent boundaries, volcanoes lining deep-sea trenches constantly erupt which forms land that moves onto each side of the trench thereby creating new seafloor.

Which of the following statements is FALSE?
Fynjy0 [20]

The correct answer is A) Governor Sam Houston fled Texas and joined the Union Army because he felt it was his duty to preserve the Union.

The FALSE statement is "Governor Sam Houston fled Texas and joined the Union Army because he felt it was his duty to preserve the Union.

What was true was that Texans viewed Abraham Lincoln’s election to the presidency as a threat to their economy, governor Sam Houston opposed secession, claiming it was unconstitutional, and the Confederate States of America created a constitution and instituted the Conscription Act.

Texans did not like the fact that Abraham Lincoln was the President of the United States. They knew what Lincoln thought and the idea of secession started to increase in the Texans public opinion. And then, it happened. Texas seceded from the Union on February 1, 1861. One month later, the state of Texas decided to join forces with the Confederate states. Texas' governor Sam Houston had refused to support the confederacy and was replaced.
