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.

Which was an advantage held by the South over the North at the start of the Civil War?
natta225 [31]
An advantage held by the South over the North at the start of the Civil War was B. it's soldier and generals believed they were protecting their homes and way of life. Since the South seceded from the North, all it had to do was exist to continue as an independent nation. It was up to the North to invade and restore order and thus the South was fighting a defensive war (much easier than the opposite - an offensive war).

What role did observation play in Abigail and John's escape plan?
ratelena [41]

Answer:

In Arthur Miller's The Crucible, it is implied that Abigail runs away from Salem to avoid the consequences of her actions. Abigail's uncle, Rev. Samuel Parris, implies that Abigail might have decided that if she stays in Salem, she'll be ostracized for her affair with John Proctor, and she might possibly become the subject of a trial herself

andre [41]
One of the major reasons why Native American societies in North America were so diverse was because the tribes were so far away from each other and had very little contact.
