Laurentia (North American Craton) is a large continental craton that forms the ancient geological core of the North American continent. Many times in its past, Laurentia has been a separate continent as it is now in the form of North America, although originally it also included the cratonic areas of Greenland and also the northwestern part of Scotland, known as theHebridean Terrane. During other times in its past, Laurentia has been part of larger continents and supercontinents and itself consists of many smaller terranes assembled on a network of Early Proterozoic orogenic belts. Small microcontinents and oceanic islands collided with and sutured onto the ever-growing Laurentia, and together formed the stable Precambriancraton seen today.

In comparing and contrasting different cultures, the gender roles:

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

d. vary and change for both males and females from culture to culture

Explanation:

Gender roles vary for both females and males across cultures. This can be observed in the way some societies are patriarchal and some are matriarchal. For example: in many Asian cultures, traditionally males head the families. It's their responsibility to engage in outside work and take important decisions for the family while women take care of household chores. This is reversed in some cultures like that present in Meghalaya, India. Here women are dominant figures in households. They inherit property, give their family name to children and after marriage the man comes to live with the woman's family. Hence gender roles are variable culture to culture.
