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.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

C) The creation of colonial-controlled legislatures

Explanation:

Part of the 1774 Coercive Acts (known by the colonists as the Intolerable Acts) was the Massachusetts Government Act, which repealed the Massachusetts Bay Colony's right to elect its own legislature, in effect turning it into a royal colony. Thomas Gage was made the royal governor and instituted martial law within the colony. Also, under these acts, many of the provisions of the Quartering Act, which had been repealed earlier, were put back into place. The Administration of Justice Act allowed trials to be held in locations outside of the area where the crime took place. Furthermore, the Boston Harbor was closed until the damages caused by the Boston Tea Party were repaid.
