This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question

What causes geologic events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the creation of mountains?

A. position of the planets

B. atmospheric pressure

C. ocean tides

D. lithospheric plate movement

Answer: D. lithospheric plate movement

Explanation:

The lithosphere is the layer at the Earth's surface and is formed by tectonic plates. Prompted by deep thermal pressure, the lithospheric plates continually move, and resulting fractures of rock can create a release of energy as seismic waves, meaning earthquakes.

Mountains are often formed by the collision of two continental plates, through tectonic and volcanic activity.

How was the bill of rights added to the constitution?
yawa3891 [41]
Many Americans did not like the Constitution because they felt that a strong federal government could take away people's rights. Therefore, most Americans wanted a bill of rights added onto the Constitution. Because the Constitution had already been written and placed into effect, the bill of rights could be added only by making amendments to the Constitution. At this time, the United States Congress made a list of the rights that would be amendments to the Constitution, giving us the Bill of Rights. <span>

Which of these is not a power of the president?
White raven [17]
The president cannot make laws. Only the legislative branch (the Congress) can make laws. But the president can certainly veto laws and make official appointments. And as commander-in-chief of the military, the president also oversees the armed forces. So the only power in your list that the president does NOT have is to make laws.

Settlers and American Indians often had conflicts after the passage of the Homestead Act. How were these conflicts resolved?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The Homestead Act was a law of the United States of America created by President Abraham Lincoln on May 20, 1862. Large contingents of immigrants from Europe participated in the occupation of the vast west of the United States and without them this achievement would not lead to cape. To attract immigrants, the US government UU decreed in 1862, the Homestead Act, which defines the ownership of a property of 65 hectares to those who cultivate it for five years. Anyone who had never taken up arms against the US government. The US, including freed slaves, could file a claim for a federal land grant. This law greatly increased the flow of European immigrants to the United States. The conquest of the West, which began with the purchase of Louisiana and ended with the purchase of southern Arizona in 1853, coincided with the US industrialization period.

Although this law was very beneficial for the USA, they also produced many problems between the Native Americans and the new settlers, this problem was solved later with the relocation of the natives in different reserves.
