History

olya-2409 [2.1K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

It is thin & mostly made of granite and limestone :0

Explanation:

The oceanic crusts are thin and are usually about a thickness of about 5 to 7 km. They contain rocks that are poor in silica and mostly enriched in magnesium (Mg) and iron (Fe). Due to the divergent motion of plates, seafloor spreading takes place as a result of which the hot molten magma comes out to the ocean floor and immediately cools down and gets solidified along the mid-oceanic ridge. The rock types produced here are mainly basaltic in nature. Basalt is a mafic rock and is comprised of denser minerals due to which the oceanic crust is relatively denser than the continental crust. Pillow basalts also form in this region.

Thus, the crust that is present beneath the Atlantic ocean is also comprised of basaltic to andesitic in composition.

Gold trade and kingdoms played an important role in the birth of the slave trade in aftica while slavery was common in africa
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Yes, gold was and still is a very important resource inside of the world's economy. Back when Africa was still being slaved and pillaged these tribes would trade their enemy tribes for profit so they can have some type of export to offer when the (mainly) British/Americans would come back for more.

I don't think Kingdome's was the main cause and effect of the slavery problem, it mainly sourced from the economy around them, and the fact was it's cheaper to slave a person and feed them than to actually pay them.

Explanation:

If you look inside of the United Kingdom they had "child labor" where children from the ages of 7 (some times younger) and up were <u><em>paid</em></u> to work inside of some of the worst conditions in the world, but they were paid. Unlike the democratic and tribal countries at the time slaving people and noting paying them at all but with food to make them work more.
