Answer:
Christianity
Explanation:
Archbishop James Ussher was a renowned professor of Theology and an astronomer. He calculated the age of the earth by studying ancient Hebrew and Egyptian books and he deduced that the world begun on the 23rd of October 4004 BC.
His calculation became a critical component in Christianity because when English Bibles were printed, James Ussher's calculation was what was used in their chronologies. He became popular and his calculation was as respected as the Bible itself.

The larger particles (boulders, etc.) not broken down during transport in the glacier because of the slow speed of glacier and abrasion.
Explanation:
When a mountain glacier start moving from mountain towards valley it creates some sorts of landforms by following some methods like abrasion, attrition etc. Moraine formed as a depositional land form in front, back, parallel and side pf a glacier. It refers to the accumulation of sediments ranging from large boulders to small particles at the front or at the end of a glacier.
The large boulders do not break down in smaller partcles as the followed the process of abrasion where friction takes place between glacier and its valley floor. Unless and untill the collision between two large boulders occur the boulders would not broke down.
Answer:
Explosive and effusive eruption types resulting from the activity of magma composition, temperature, water content and volatile content.
Explanation:
Magma Silica content composition being above 60% will result in violent eruption. High temperature will result in low viscosity and low temperature in high viscosity. Explosive eruptions are propelled by magma and motivated by gaseous activity. Effusive is characterized with lava outflow without explosive activity. Examples of this effusive eruptions are those of the Hawaiian eruptions. Plinian eruptions are known to be explosive, violent and dangerous.
Answer:
Extensional faulting observed in southwestern Mexico has been related to the incipient rifting of the Jalisco block from the Mexican mainland since the Pliocene. On the basis of new structural and geophysical data, we propose that (1) the continental boundaries of the Jalisco block are ancient structures reactivated since the Pliocene at a low (<1 mm/yr) rate of deformation, and (2) Pliocene-Quaternary extensional faulting at the edges of Jalisco block is a basement-controlled intraplate deformation related to plate boundary forces rather than to active continental rifting. The Jalisco block boundaries first developed in response to the uplift of the Puerto Vallarta batholith in pre-Neogene time and underwent a complex contractile deformation before the Pliocene. During Pliocene-Quaternary times north-northeast extension reactivated the northern boundary, forming the Tepic-Zacoalco rift, whereas east-southeast extension formed the northern Colima rift. South of the Colima volcano, active extension is found only west of the so-called southern Colima rift and partly reactivates old northeast-trending basement faults. The parallelism between the subducted Rivera-Cocos plate boundary zone and the eastern neotectonic boundary of the Jalisco block supports eastsoutheastward motion of the southern Mexican blocks induced by the differential motion and oblique subduction of the Cocos and Rivera plates. On the other hand, we envisage Pliocene-Quaternary extension along the northern boundary as an upper-plate response to the low convergence rate and the steep subduction angle of the Rivera plate.
