Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The major problems between Christians and Muslims living in Nigeria can be summarized under two main headings;

1) Ethnicity

2) Religious intolerance

1) Ethnicity: Nigeria is an ethnically diverse country having over 250 different languages. However, there are three main ethnic groups in Nigeria; Hausa (mostly in Northern Nigeria), Youruba (Mostly in South west Nigeria) and Igbo (Mostly In South East Nigeria). Majority of the people in the northern part of Nigeria are Muslims although a significant christian population exists in the north also. In the South West, a significant population of Musilims exists among a christian majority. In the South East, there are mostly Christians.

Therefore the country is sharply divided along the North-south lines where there is a christian majority in the south and a Muslim, majority in the north. All religious crises in Nigeria always bear an ethnic rather than a religious coloration.

2) Religious intolerance: Similar to the issues of ethnicity is the menace of religious intolerance among the Muslims and Christians. Religious intolerance is always fueled by feelings of superiority of one religion over another as well as unbridled fanaticism stemming from wrong indoctrination of vulnerable adherents of the both religions.

It is common for volcanoes to trigger many other natural hazards. What are possible outcomes from volcanic eruptions?
-BARSIC- [3]
<span>The answer is all of the above;

Volcanic eruptions can cause debris to flows and make earthquakes happen because of the instability it can bring to the land during lava flow. Lava can also carry some objects to different places.

Another result would be floods and landslides. Volcanic eruptions can pull out trees and plants that can cause erosion and floods. There would be insufficient plants left to consume water from heavy rains. Lava can also cause wildfires in forests.

according to cuauhtlequetzqui what gave the Aztec the right to settle where they did and conquer whom they did?
slava [35]

The Aztecs where given the rights to settle where they did and after that conquer whom they did by their gods.

Explanation:

The Aztecs were a group of people consisted of several different ethnic groups. This group migrated into central Mexico from the northern part of Mexico. Initially they had lot of problems as they were often not allowed to settle somewhere or forced to leave a place. This changed when their gods sent them a vision of an eagle on a cactus eating a snake, which was actually the place meant for them to settle in.

The Aztecs did so and they settled in a swampy area where they saw in person an eagle on a cactus eating a snake. The area was not desired by other people groups so they were not disturbed. They found it hard until they managed to sort and properly establish their own city-state but once they did there was no stopping in its progress.

The Aztec gods were a bloodthirsty warlike ones and they were telling the Aztecs to go on and destroy the people that were treating them terribly before and that resulted in wars. The wars were won by the Aztecs and they started to expand. The gods were not satisfied with this though and they wanted them to continue with the brutal military conquests and so the Aztecs did, attacking, massacring, and brutally ruling over other people.
