There are also other areas of intense volcanism under the Atlantic Ocean. This is referred to as the Mid-Atlantic Rift, and is an area that is being rifted apart. Two plates are moving in opposite direction, and the Earth "heals" the wound by the lava of the volcanoes.

Name two reasons the nazis chose south america and specifically argentina to hide out

Monica [59]

Answer:

Historical ties and official cooperation

Explanation:

Argentina took in many Nazi war criminals and members of the Nazi party after World War II in part because of the strong presence of German immigration in the South American country. Argentina had received many Germans in the decades prior to the war which helped the country stay close to Germany.

Argentina was also a neutral country during WWII and therefore had an impartial stance toward the warring parties, at least official. In reality, the Argentine government collaborated secretly with the Germans to help escapees leave Europe safely and reach safe haven in the Americas.

andriy [413]

New York is 5 zones west of GMT.
New Zealand is 12 zones east of GMT.

-- If both places are on Standard time, or both are on Daylight/Summer/Fast time,
then it's 11:00 PM Sunday night anywhere in New Zealand.

-- If only New York is on Daylight time, then it's 10:00 PM in New Zealand.

-- If only New Zealand is on Daylight time ... (I'm not even sure they do Daylight
time over there) ... then it's 12:00 midnight Sunday night in New Zealand.
