Involvement - France is one of the six founding member of theEU.
It is one of the 6 core founding countries of the EU, so France technically founded & joined the EU in 1958.
Euro was introduced in 1999, and since 2012 France uses the Euro exclusively.
Because France used to be a powerful colonialist, they have overseas regions, territories which are not located in Europe, but their citizens are european citizens. For example, French Guiana people can live & work in Europe based on their French citizenship.
Because of its resemblance to a hexagon, france is sometimes called l’Hexagone
France abolished the guillotine as the capital method of punishment only in 1981 - 23 years after they founded the EU. The last person to be punished in France by guillotine was executed on 10 September 1977.
<span>The correct answer is plate tectonics. The outermost shell of Earth, called the lithosphere, is partitioned into different tectonic plates (7 or 8 major ones). When a plate breaks along what are called faults, there is a release of energy, which causes seismic waves (the ground shaking). This shaking then causes several plates to rub against each other, and when they break, the earthquake results.</span>
1. a. Lithosphere
If we divide the Earth into layers by their composition, then there are three of them, the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the thinnest layer, being on the top, and being solid. The mantle is the second layer, lying between the crust and the core. It is a layer where the temperature and pressure are higher, and the rocks are hot and slow-moving. The core is the bottom layer, in the center of the planet. It is the hottest and has the highest pressure, being the densest of the layers and is composed mostly of iron and in lesser percentage of nickel.
2. b. Crust
The Earth is divided into several layers depending on the layers being solid or liquid. There are five different physical layers, lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core and inner core. The lithosphere and the inner core are the two layers that are solid, thus the layer on top and the layer in the center. The asthenosphere, mesosphere, and outer core are all liquid, though it is a different degree of liquidity, and it is these three layers where the convection currents occur and cause the magnetic field of the Earth, as well as the tectonic movements.
