Correct answer: B) a shield of missiles over the US designed to shoot down incoming missiles from the USSR

Background/context:

In 1983, President Reagan proposed the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), which was a plan for a space-based missile defense system against any threat of Soviet missiles. Sometimes people referred to Reagan's plan as "Star Wars," because of the original idea to use lasers. The plan ultimately developed into defensive missiles that could target and shoot down incoming offensive missiles. More than 200 billion dollars were devoted to the Strategic Defense Initiative over the next four decades after the program was started.

How are minor US territories different from Commonwealths or major territories such as Guam?

viva [34]

Unlike the States of the Union or a Commonwealth (Union of several sovereign states), the US territories are considered as sub-national administrative divisions, this means that these territories are without sovereignty and thus they lack representation in Congress and are administered directly by the federal government.

These territories can be classified as incorporated or unincorporated as well as if they have an organized government or not.

It's important to make a note here since the US has 16 territories, 5 of which are inhabited and have a government (Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico) and 11 which are islands with no population or government.

What best describes tectonic force

Alborosie

Tectonic Forces

Rocks are under stress when they are subjected to a force at depth. When the rocks are exposed at the surface after uplift and erosion, the effects of the stress can be studied. Stressed rocks show varying degrees of strain—the change in the volume and/or shape of the rock because of that stress. For example, a volcanic agglomerate may be compacted and its pyroclastic fragments stretched (strained) in response to a tectonic stress, such as compression.
