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.

Which best describes the Voting Rights Act of 1965?
MaRussiya [10]

<em>D. It protected voting rights for all Americans by taking away qualifications.</em>

Explanation:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was very important and ensured voting rights for African American citizens. Before the Voting Rights Act, it proved to be very difficult to vote if you were African American or a non-English citizen.

The Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965. The main problem appeared to be in the South, as many people still held prejudice towards African Americans. Many white Southerners did not want them to vote, as they were scared that they would vote for someone in power that would better the livelihoods of African Americans.

In order to keep African Americans from voting, white Southerners would enact literacy tests and poll taxes. During this time, it was hard for black citizens to obtain a proper education and many did not know how to read or write, so they would fail the literacy tests. Most of the time they did not have enough money for the poll taxes either.

Eventually, the Voting Rights Act was passed and it got rid of these qualifications that were needed, so it was easier for people to vote.

What issue was resolved at the constitutional convention with the great compromise?
adelina 88 [10]

Correct answer (as highlighted in the choices shown):

<h2>Representation in the two legislative houses.</h2>

Explanation:

The Great Compromise was a measure decided during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  It resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size. The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.

The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature, with different rules for representation in each chamber. Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.

How did merchants cover the vast area of the Silk Road?
ser-zykov [4K]

The merchants cover the vast area of the Silk Road in the large caravans.

<h3>What was the Silk Route?</h3>

Silk Route refers to the path through which the silk was carried from China to Western world and many regions of Asia. It was conducted at the time of the medieval ages between the Roman Empire and China.

Large caravans carried traders and merchants. They would be accompanied by numerous guards.

Defending against bandits was made easier when traveling in a large group like a caravan. Because a large portion of the road passed through desolate, difficult terrain, camels were frequently used as transportation.
