In the scramble for Africa, European powers drew boundaries and created states that benefitted the colonizers while ignoring the

needs of the local populations. What effects did this policy have on the indigenous people following independence?

The drawing of the boundaries in the manner of the interest of the European colonial powers resulted in very big problems once the African countries were granted independence.

The problems were mostly because people from the same ethnic groups were separated by borders, but were in the same ones with people from other ethnic groups, usually historical rivals with whom they had bad relations. Also, the religious factor had a big influence, as there were multiple countries were some parts were predominantly of one religion, and other parts of other religion, and that brought in even more tensions.

That has resulted in instability, constant tensions, civil wars, terrorist organizations, separatist movements, genocides, pretty much everything that is not supposed to happen for a country to prosper.

When plate tectonics cause cracks to form, ________________.
Simora [160]

The answer is B.

During plate tectonics, cracks may occur in the earth crust that causes magma to rise up from the mantle. The cracks may also cause cracks to form on the crust that makes outlet channels for the magma in magma chambers. These result in volcanic eruptions on the surface of the earth that form volcanic features such as mountains.

be over a hot spot, which is why it is the only one of the seven large islands that has active volcanoes. What should be TRUE of
laiz [17]

Answer:

What should be <u>TRUE</u> of the island of <em>Hawaii</em> :

  • Scientists in search of ongoing speciation events are more likely to find them here than on the other six large islands.
  • Its species should be more closely related to those of nearer islands than to those of farther islands.
  • It should have a rich fossil record of terrestrial organisms.

Explanation:

In cases of <em>geographic isolation</em>, and subsequent speciation, produced by dispersal and colonization phenomena we can find the island of Hawaii. Adaptation to these environments can be the trigger for divergence. The <em>large number of species</em> in this archipelago, more than 500, seems to have emerged  through<em> migration</em> and diversification. Many of these are endemic to a nearby island, and the subsequent<em> evolutionary divergence.</em>

The volcanic islands, which have never been in contact with the continent, are especially<u> rich in endemic species; </u>the species that inhabit them are descendants of those who arrived in times past and <u>were able to adapt.</u>

Almost ninety years ago, in the south of the island of Hawaii, they revealed some <u>bones </u>that turned out to be the<u> first bird fossils discovered i</u>n the archipelago. The bones were under a flow of prehistoric lava and on a bed of volcanic ash.

In short, the Island of Hawaii is of great interest to scientists and there are always new developments buried years ago by volcanic activity.
