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.

Answer:

Greenland is the country where you most likely live in terms of its physical characteristics due to the amount of grass and nautural habitats covering the country. Greenland had a lot of maountains and natural spaces and rivers that run through it. Most of it is just green land, just like the name. Snow covered mountains, rivers, habitats, then ocean.

Greenhouse effect compare and contrast with global warming

ivann1987 [24]

Green house effect and global warming are more or less the same. The contrast however is that, the green house effect explains the idea of global warming but green houses dont contribute to global warming. Global warming occurs when harmful gases are released to the atmosphere, they then cause a barrier, a blanket like cover in the atmosphere which prevents sufficient heat loss from the ground. this increased heat that can not escape to the atmosphere because of the layer of gases then leads to global warming. this is the same principle through which a green house operates.
