Slaves, Gold and Ivory were the riches gained by numerous European countries, as they set up coastal stations and forts along the coast of Africa
West Africa has historically been connected to the slave, gold, and ivory trades, with the former perhaps occurring the most frequently. The historical origins of racial discrimination in the United States today can be found in the capture of more than 20 million Africans and slavery in North America.
Additionally, when Europeans first began trading with Africa in the middle of the 15th century, they met established, highly developed governmental organizations as well as aggressive regional economic networks. The African kings and merchant classes, at whose mercy they frequently acquired access to the goods they needed, were largely relied upon by Europeans. Up until the 19th century, European military technology was sufficiently advanced to consistently grant them this access through use of force. Therefore, the elite coastal lords and merchants who controlled the means of coastline and river navigation were most frequently Africans, and it was to their advantage that the Atlantic trade was carried out.

Answer: Mantle plumes, Continental rifts, island arcs, and Continental arcs
Explanation:
Mantle plume is the mechanism of convecting abnormally hot rocks within the Earth's mantle. The plume head partly melts on reaching shallow depths, the plume is often invoked as the cause of volcanic hotspots.
Continental rift refers to the belt of the continental lithosphere where the extensional deformation (rifting) is taking place. Continental rift zones have important consequences and geological features, and if the rifting is successful, leads to the formation of new ocean basins.
Island arcs are long chains of active volcanoes with intense seismic activity found along convergent tectonic plate boundaries. Most island arcs originate on oceanic crust and have resulted from the descent of the lithosphere into the mantle along the subduction zone. They are the principal way by which continental growth is achieved.
Continental arc is a type of volcanic arc occurring as an "arc-shape" topographic high region along a continental margin. The continental arc is formed where two tectonic plates meet, and where one plate has continental crust and the other plate has an oceanic crust along the line of plate convergence, and a subduction zone develops.
An atmospheric discharge of static electricity is called lightning.
The story goes that Benjamin Franklin invented
lightning rods to
protect buildings from lightning.
