Summarize the major causes of Racial Tension after World War I.

1 answer:

5 0

There was a lot of racial tension during the war. Black soldiers were not treated like white soldiers were, even though they wanted to fight in the war. They were segregated (they were desegregated in 1948 by President Truman) from the whites and given menial roles even though they put their lives on the line for the United States. They also received less medals than white soldiers did. When these soldiers came home they still faced a lot of racial tension.

Postwar did bring a massive civil rights movement to the forefront, which eventually led to equal rights. Of course many people did not like the fact that blacks were demanding equal rights. There were many people who believed that blacks are not equal to whites and there were people both black and white who fought together for equal rights.

List the layers of earth from the center out to the crust. What is the composition of each layer? Enter your answer in the space

Bezzdna [24]

The crust: low density silicate rock, 5-70 km thick. There are two distinct types of crust.Continental crust is variable in thickness and composition. Thickness ranges from 5-70 km. The composition ranges from mafic to felsic.Oceanic crust is uniform in thickness and composition. It is 5-6 km thick and is mafic in composition.The differences in thickness and density between continental and oceanic are responsible for the existence of ocean basins due to isostatic balance as the crust floats on the more dense mantle.The mantle: high density, ultramafic silicate rock which can flow when subjected to long duration stresses. The mantle is over 2900 km thick and makes up over 80% of the volume of the Earth. The mantle is not molten!The core: iron and nickel, liquid outer region with a solid center. The core is just over half the diameter of the Earth.
