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.

Read this sentence from the speech.
Alenkinab [10]

Answer: The theme that this sentence suggests is that people are different and often disagree with each other.

Explanation:

This is an excerpt from a speech that Patrick Henry delivered to the Second Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775, at St. John's Church in Richmond. In the speech, he suggests that Virginians should support the Revolutionary War.

The lines above are from the very beginning of Henry's speech. In these lines, Henry argues that people are different and have different opinions. He hopes that man who disagree with him will not be offended by the ideas he is about to present in his speech. He does not attack those who do not support him, as it is not the right way to persuade people to agree with him. Quite the opposite: Henry shows respect for those people, and argues that good people often disagree.

The establishment of speakeasies in the 1920s was an unintended consequence of which federal government action
iris [78.8K]
The 1920s were a time of highs and lows for the United States. More Americans were living in cities instead of farms, more people had money to spend, and the country became more united through music, dancing, and fashion. Citizens who weren't too happy with these changes wanted lawmakers to stop making and selling alcoholic beverages. They thought by not allowing people to drink alcohol, there would be less crime and people would be more likely to make good choices. The 18th Amendment was created to prohibit the creation, sale, or transportation of alcohol. Their plan didn't quite work out that way though. Bars and places to purchase alcohol were created in secret where Americans could illegally purchase alcohol. These were called 'speakeasies". These speakeasies came as a consequence of the addition of the 18th Amendment to the Consitution. This is also known as Prohibition.

Using examples from the lessons, defend or reject the following statement in two to three complete paragraphs: "Medieval guilds
Alexxx [7]
<span>"Modern banking has its auspicious beginnings in the early to mid Middle Ages. Primitive banking transactions existed before, but until the economic revival of the thirteenth century they were limited in scope and occurrence. By the dawn of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, bankers were grouped into three distinct categories: the pawnbrokers, the moneychangers, and the merchant bankers. But with these economic specializations came religious denunciation and backlash. However, these bankers persevered and a new industry was born."

"Some citizens found it convenient to deposit some of their money in a bank account and receive a moderate interest (often camouflaged as an optional bonus) while using the account for receiving and making payments by written transfer in the banker's book. A reliable depositor was often allowed to overdraw his account within certain limits. The banker, in turn, was entitled to invest in his own trade the deposits of his clients. A merchant created feedback credit by charging a banker (or, another merchant) with supplying foreign exchange in a foreign place, while agreeing overtly or covertly that he would waive repayment abroad in order to receive postponed payment in the currency and place of origin."

"While the organization of the moneychangers business seems family oriented, individual changers occasionally pooled their resources in partnerships. Such enterprises were small, characteristically involving two or perhaps three changers. The term of individual partnership arrangements was usually short, three months to a year. But once two changers came together they tended to remain as such for a considerable time by successively drawing up new partnership arrangements." </span>
