The Virginia and New Jersey Plans introduced at the Constitutional Convention differed mainly over whether Select one: a. there

REY [17]

Option B is the right answer, that the Virginia and New Jersey Plans differed mainly over whether States should send an equal number of representatives to Congress.

The Virginia Plan was a proposal by the representatives of Virginia for Bicameral Legislative Branch. This plan is significant for its performance in establishing the stage for the convention and, in particular, for the formulation of the idea of representation as according to the population. Whereas the New Jersey Plan of June 1787, was an acknowledgement to the Virginia Plan, since the Virginia plan called for Bicameral in Congress and the supporters of the New Jersey plan demanded the Unicameral arrangement from the article of Confederation.

Although the New Jersey Plan was refused as a basis for the new Constitution, yet some elements were taken from it. Therefore the Virginia plan was adopted in the formation of the new constitution. And the most extensive use of these plans was used by the Connecticut Compromise ( which in part set the legislative structure and representation that each state would have), that placed a Bicameral authority by the House of Representatives of the United States, elected by the American people, and that the Senate provided equality of votes to each state as the New Jersey Plan requested.

Look at your world map on page 11 and compare the earthquake

Lerok [7]

Answer:

Alaska, pacific, Pakistan, Indonesia, New Madrid, Charleston South, Philippines.

Explanation:

Earthquakes can strike any location at any time, but history shows they occur in the same general patterns year after year, principally in three large zones of the earth:

The world's greatest earthquake belt, the circum-Pacific seismic belt, is found along the rim of the Pacific Ocean, where about 81 percent of our planet's largest earthquakes occur. It has earned the nickname "Ring of Fire". Why do so many earthquakes originate in this region? The belt exists along boundaries of tectonic plates, where plates of mostly oceanic crust are sinking (or subducting) beneath another plate. Earthquakes in these subduction zones are caused by slip between plates and rupture within plates. Earthquakes in the circum-Pacific seismic belt include the M9.5 Chilean Earthquake [Valdivia Earthquake] (1960) and the M9.2 Alaska Earthquake (1964).

The Alpide earthquake belt extends from Java to Sumatra through the Himalayas, the Mediterranean, and out into the Atlantic. This belt accounts for about 17 percent of the world's largest earthquakes, including some of the most destructive, such as the 2005 M7.6 shock in Pakistan that killed over 80,000 and the 2004 M9.1 Indonesia earthquake, which generated a tsunami that killed over 230,000 people.

The third prominent belt follows the submerged mid-Atlantic Ridge. The ridge marks where two tectonic plates are spreading apart (a divergent plate boundary). Most of the mid-Atlantic Ridge is deep underwater and far from human development, but Iceland, which sits directly over the mid-Atlantic Ridge, has experienced earthquakes as large as at least M6.9.

The remaining shocks are scattered in various areas of the world. Earthquakes in these prominent seismic zones are taken for granted, but damaging shocks can occur outside these zones. Examples in the United States include New Madrid, Missouri (1811-1812) and Charleston, South Carolina (1886). However, many years usually elapse between such shocks.
