Answer:

Plate tectonics cause earthquakes

Earthquakes are caused by the movement of plate tectonics. Where there is a fault line there is plate tectonics, and when that fault line moves the plates shift and cause the earth to shake AKA an earthquake.

Which conclusion accurately explains Africa's economic and government problems after independence
ivolga24 [154]
After the independence of many African countries (not all, for example, Ethiopia was never really colonized), the countries struggled both politically and economically - even more than before the independence. 

A huge reason for that is that the countries were not formed along the ethnic lines, but instead they were divided by the Europeans among themselves, so when the independence was gained, there were many internal conflicts between the ethnicities and religions. 

One example for this was the Rwandan Genocide - a result of the conflict between the Hutu and the Tutsi.

What is the relation between geography and ice ages?
julsineya [31]
The Ice Ages shaped and sculpted the face of the Earth.  Continents that were once connected by land bridges had shifted and separated during the Ice Ages.  Therefore without the Ice Ages, Earth would look significantly different, and some of the natural beauties like Niagra Falls would not exist.
