(1) Earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop Earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) The plates are called

tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) They can move because Earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) Volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) Also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) Therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) Plates may also collide. (8) When that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) For example, the collision of the plate carrying the Indian subcontinent created the Himalayan Mountains when it collided with the Asian plate.

The correct answer is D. There is no single topic sentence.

Explanation:

A topic sentence is a sentence that summarizes the main idea of a paragraph, this sentence is usually the first sentence in the paragraph and states what the paragraph is about. On the other hand, the paragraph presented here deals with multiple topics or concepts including the Earth's crust, the plates, the Earth's mantle, volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain ranges, this means the paragraph is related to geography but explores multiple ideas that are not summarized in any of the sentences presented in the paragraph, neither at the beginning nor at the end of it. Thus, as there is no any sentence or phrase that states what the paragraph is about as a unit or summarizes all the ideas of the paragraph there is no a single topic sentence because this paragraph includes multiples ideas that might be difficult to summarize in only one topic sentence.

How does Christine Stansell establish the context for the beginning of the women's movement?
oee [108]

ctually  it tracks the movement from 1848 through a series of obstinated state campaigns in Colorado in the 1890s and beyond. Marilley stresses the adaptability of the abolitionist legacy and admires the size of equal-rights ideology after the Civil War to contain a variety of goals for women, including goals to protect women.


<u><em> Suzanne Marilley’s history of the suffrage movement is referring to the full history from 1820 to 1906. The most innovative contribution comes from the author’s research in the Colorado suffrage victory in 1893, which offers an excellent analysis of state politics.  </em></u>

In this case study she closely examines the political context and the array of liberal and illiberal arguments used simultaneously to gain the support of various constituencies. She manage to write about the social context of male control over most features of women's lives. She points to a hypersexualized American popular culture that presents women with “self-actualizing sexuality that still hinges on male approval” and persistent labor discrimination and maintains that the feminism that helped change marriage and possibilities for girls can fulfill its “promise” for social change.


<u><em> She credits feminists who build coalitions to effect social change—for example, the twentieth century abortion reform movement culminating in Roe v. Wade victory represents concerted efforts of “physicians, psychiatrists, and family planning professionals along with activists.”  </em></u>

Highlight all the words that make up the two independent clauses below.
Shtirlitz [24]

<u>Explanation:</u>

An independent clause refers to a group of words (found in a sentence) that contains both a subject and a predicate. And <em>the predicate of a sentence</em> is simply a verb explaining what the subject does.

Therefore, here are all the words that make up the two independent clauses below:

Subject = <em>Erik Killmonger</em>

Predicate = signed up for knitting lessons; (he) <u>wanted to make his  own sweaters.</u>

For which information must you cite your source in a research paper? A. original ideas that are not your own B. your own origina
Oksanka [162]

The answer would be the first choice or A. "Original ideas that are <em>not</em> your own."

Any piece of information that does not belong to you would require a citation, otherwise it would be considered <em>plagiarism. </em>B and C are incorrect because both of those things belong to you, and therefore don't require citation. D is also incorrect because a general fact doesn't belong to any one person. For example, if you wanted to include the information that dogs can't eat chocolate, that wouldn't require a citation because that is general knowledge that most people are aware of.
