The diagram below shows a cross section of Earth’s layers. Arrows show the direction of the flow of rock in the outer layers of

Earth.
Movement of rock in Earth’s crust can occur because of heat flow, as hot rock rises and cool rock sinks, and because of new rock pushing older rock away from ridges. What is the best description of how the older rock moves to allow continents to move apart, leaving behind ocean basins?

(SC.7.E.6.7)

Group of answer choices

As new rock forms at ocean ridges, the older rock is pulled towards the ridge. This moves Earth’s crust, so continental plates can move closer together, forming ocean basins.

As new rock forms at ocean ridges, the older rock is pushed up to form mountain ranges. These mountain ranges push continental plates farther apart, leaving behind ocean basins.

As new rock forms at ocean ridges, the older rock is pushed away from the ridge. This moves Earth’s crust, so continental plates can move closer together, forming ocean basins.

What was unique about the way the Nile River flooded in ancient Egypt?
Simora [160]

Answer:

Ancient Egypt could not have existed without the river Nile. Since rainfall is almost non-existent in Egypt, the floods provided the only source of moisture to sustain crops. ... When the floods went down it left thick rich mud (black silt) which was excellent soil to plant seeds in after it had been ploughed.

What aspects of colonial life do you think you might like? Which ones do you think you would dislike?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
To be honest, colonial life sucked. However, it was peaceful, and depending on where you lived, you could depend on your own resources without having to buy anything. In the early colonial days, you probably wouldn't live very long because there were many diseases and dangers in the New World. You would have to work untiringly every day: feed the chickens, milk the cow, tend the garden, and clean the house. However, some people may like this way of life. It's all an opinion.
