As the South Atlantic basin widens by seafloor spreading, Africa and South America are moving closer together. True or False

History
1 answer:
jenyasd209 [6]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Atlantic Ocean is spreading at its central part. The African and South American plates are moving away from one another. There's a mid-ocean ridge which is very active, and there's constant formation of new crust by the emerging magma from the mantle. The new crust is pilling up, and it is also pushing aside the old crust, so little by little the two plates move further apart. Apart from South America and Africa moving further away from each other, this also means that the Atlantic Ocean is becoming larger and larger every year, which is actually the only ocean at present to do so, as all the others are becoming smaller.

Identify the correct time order of these events.
professor190 [17]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The Golden Age of Greece was the time period from 500BC - 300BC.

The Life of Alexander the Great was from 356BC - 323BC. Although this occurs within the Golden Age of Greece time period, the Golden Age of Greece started much earlier than the birth of Alexander the Great.

The Hellenistic Age was the time period from 323BC - 31BC. The Hellenistic Age started from the death of Alexander the Great, and lasted until the emergence of the Roman Empire.

The Greco-Roman Age was the time period from 332BC - 395AD. Although this era overlaps with the Hellenistic Age, there is no option other than A which has this order.

What kind of imagery did Jonathan Edwards use in his sermons and to what effect?
lana66690 [7]
A fire and brimstone preacher, Jonathan Edwards was a stalwart Puritan and much of his Calvinist background is apparent in the frightening imagery of his sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." In fact, the image of the bottomless pit of hell whose fiery floods wax high enough to burn the gossamer thread that holds the unworthy souls over it evoked so much terror in the congregation of Edwards that women fainted and men became terrorized and trembled.
This sermon of Edwards is constructed around a passage from Deuteronomy in the Old Testament of the King James Version of the Bible: "Their foot shall slide in due time." Using the metaphor of a slippery slide, Edwards, at a revival where his famous sermon was given, points to the dangers of spiritual sliding. The yawning abyss waits for the sinners, whose wickedness makes them "heavy as lead," and only the "mere pleasure" of God keeps them from burning in the images of "fiery floods" and "fire of wrath." The image of a "bow" for God's wrath that can easily bend and send forth its arrow is an unnerving one, indeed, as the "slender thread" dangling near the "flames of divine wrath" which can singe it at any moment.

Which of the following most contributed to the dismissal of General Douglas
taurus [48]

Answer: He failed to land troops at Inchon successfully and was forced to retreat.

Explanation:

Truman didn't want to get China into the conflict from the start. General met with the President in October 1950. He assured the President that there would be no Chinese intervention. The opposite happened. The advance of the US and Allied troops stopped hundreds of thousands of soldiers from China. The communist regime feared that actions could extend to their country. This conflict meant an end for US General MacArthur, who remained remembered in history as a great strategist but also an extremely stubborn person.
