1) Earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop Earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) The plates are called

tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) They can move because Earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) Volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) Also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) Therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) Plates may also collide. (8) When that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) For example, the collision of the plate carrying the Indian subcontinent created the Himalayan Mountains when it collided with the Asian plate.

According to the first three paragraphs of this excerpt of the speech, what has Winston Churchill been doing since becoming Prim
user100 [1]

In the beginning of the speech called, “Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat,” Winston Churchill is discussing the new government that he has formed in the past three days after becoming prime minister. In paragraph two it states, “A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labour, Opposition, and Liberals, the unity of the nation.” In this part of the speech, he is explaining about the transition of the new government he has formed. Furthermore, he goes on by saying, “Other key positions were filled yesterday.” He does not explain what they are but we can assume that he has done something else too that was an important task to be completed. After explaining what he has already completed he gives a few more details about his future plans. In short, all we know from the beginning of the speech is that he has created a new government.
