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.

Answer:

1. World War II ends

2. India gains independence from the British

3. East Pakistan is declared the independent nation of Bangladesh

4. Corazon Aquino is elected president of the Philippines

Explanation:

The World War II ended in 1945. The end result was a win for the Allies, tens of millions of deaths and injured, ruined countries, and divided German nation. Couple of years after that, the British not being able to sustain and control their colony India, granted their independence, thus India became independent country. But the independence was not as most of the people expected, as the country was partitioned into three parts, India, West Pakistan, and East Pakistan. Lot of conflicts emerged because of it, and lot of bloodshed with it. East Pakistan was the last to manage to gain full independence, and it did it with war, winning it, and finally becoming the independent nation of Bangladesh. Further east, in the Philippines, in 1986, the first female president was elected in this Southeast Asian nation. Corazon Aquino won the elections and it came as a big surprise. She managed to hold the office for six years, becoming a beloved and admired president in this island nation.
