Boston, the biggest burg in New England, is located on a mountainous peninsula in Massachusetts Bay. The region had been inhabited since at least 2400 B.C. by the Massachusetts race of Native Americans, who assemble the peninsula Shawmut. Fearing more tension between Native Americans and settlers, England's King George III upshot the Proclamation of 1763, prohibiting residence westward of the Allegheny Mountains.
Well for starters the theory of plate tectonics states that
the Earth's solid outer crust, the
lithosphere, is separated into plates that
move over the asthenosphere, the molten
upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic and
continental plates come together, spread
apart, and interact at boundaries all over
the planet.
Hope this helped
