The correct answer is - the air movement/winds.

The movement of the air, more commonly referred to as winds, is the one responsible for the creation of the waves in the oceans, as well as the seas, and the lakes.

The frictional force from the winds is a force that appears when the moving air influences a certain object/material/substance. Even though the frictional force is lower on smoother surfaces, including the water bodies, it still manages to create surface disruptions on the ocean waters, thus creating the ocean waves.

The stronger this force is, the bigger the waves would be, and vice versa, the lower this force is, the smaller the waves would be.

Europeans began establishing colonies in North America. What year did this happen?

blondinia [14]

Answer:

It happened in 1607.

Explanation:

The first colony was established at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. A lot of people settled in the New World escaping religious persecution. The Pilgrims arrived in 1620. and founded Plymouth, Massachusetts. In both Virginia and Massachusetts, the colonists had some kind of, we could say support from Native Americans.

European Nations established colonies in North America because they wanted to expand their horizons (main reasons were the gold, glory, and spreading their religion). They also wanted to have more land than other countries.

The Spanish were among the first Europeans to explore the New World and the first to settle in what is now the United States.

By 1650, England had established a dominant presence on the Atlantic coast. They discovered corn which kept them from starving while, in Virginia, tobacco was a great way to make money. In early 1700s enslaved Africans contributed a growing percentage of the colonial population. By 1770, more than 2.000.000 people lived and worked in Great Britain's 13 North American colonies.

umka21 [38]

Water on Mars exists today almost entirely as ice, though it also exists in small quantities as vapor in the atmosphere and occasionally as low-volume liquid brines in shallow Martian soil. The only place where water ice is visible at the surface is at the north polar ice cap.

The Hawaiian Islands are associated with what type of volcanism? intraplate volcanism volcanism at a divergent plate boundary su

tangare [24]

The correct answer is - intraplate volcanism.

The Hawaiian Islands are volcanic islands, thus islands that have been created by volcanic activity. Unlike most of the volcanic islands, or most of the volcanoes, they are not related to any type of volcanism asociated with plate boundary. These islands are in fact associated with intraplate volcanism.

The intraplate volcanism, unlike the other volcanisms, appears inside the plate, not on the boundary of it. The other, more common name, used for this volcanism is hot spot volcanism. This type of volcanic activity appears on places where there's a hot spot, so even though the plate is on top of it, it manages to penetrate through it, and create volcanoes on the surface.
