Deep in the Earth's crust, almost a mile beneath the ocean floor, a pool of superheated magma pushes against the surface layer o

f rock. At several thousand degrees Fahrenheit, the heat and pressure are awesome. The rock layer buckles, and a ridge on the ocean floor rises several meters before slamming downward and outward. The molten rock and superheated steam explode, and two huge rock plates, each thousands of miles wide, are pushed a few centimeters apart. A few centimeters doesn’t sound like much, but an entire continent has suddenly moved. The resulting earthquake sends an undersea shock wave across the ocean. Minutes later, thousands of miles away, that shock wave, called a tsunami, crashes into shore.The explanation for the forces that unleash killer tsunamis, massive earthquakes, and exploding volcanoes, lies in tectonic plates. These are the huge rock plates underneath the continents.
What can happen when tectonic plates move a few centimeters?
A. The atmosphere can become cooler.
B. Whole continents can move.
C. The ozone layer can thicken.
D. The moon can move closer to Earth.

Why did women such as Abigail Adams want the right to vote? 
Andrej [43]
Because women believed that they should have the same rights as men, and did everything in their power to do so. Hence the suffrage movement in the 1920's. On August 18, 1920<span>, The 19th amendment to the United States Constitution had granted women the right to vote. Which is called Women's sufferage.</span>

What does the verse in Song of Solomon 5:16 mean “His mouth is most sweet “thank you very much
CaHeK987 [17]

Hi there! Are you reading the Bible? I very much enjoy to read the Bible as well. And, sometimes to understand the Bible you need someone to guide you. If you have any questions you can come to me anytime.

Let me explain, this story is not about two lovers and the singers, King Solomon,  the Queen of Sheba and the singers as many have proposed. Instead this song is a love story of a shepherd boy and a country girl, a Shulammite.

As described by the book published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society “All scripture is inspired by God and beneficial” states: “The material in the book is presented through a series of conversations. There is a constant change of speakers. The persons with speaking parts are Solomon the king of Jerusalem, a shepherd, his beloved Shulammite, her brothers, court ladies (“daughters of Jerusalem”), and women of Jerusalem (“daughters of Zion”).”

Now, what does the girl mean when his lovers “mouth is most sweet” or as my Bible translation states: “His mouth is sweetness itself”? What she means is that her lover says sweet things with his lips. His lips are sweet because they express through words desirable and beautiful things she needs to hear. She is in love with him, and hearing beautiful words from his lips livens more her love for him. Based on Elliot‘s commentary, he states: “His mouth is most sweet.—Literally, his palate… his voice is exquisitely sweet. Palate, is used of the organ of speech and speech itself”. The Bible Translation of the New World states: “Your palate is sweet”.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. Men have tried hard to put away the dark; A million lighted windows brilliantly
dimaraw [331]

<span>People have tried their best to drive darkness away on a winter night by adorning their houses with lots of brightly shining lights. However, no one can truly eradicate the gloom that everyone shares. There is something missing in moments like these. Joy is limited, pride is unfounded, and freedom is controlled. Behind the seemingly bright and happy atmosphere; man’s efforts cannot surpass or suppress nature’s power. Winter has the power to suspend life; and all humans can do is to wait for it to take its time and leave; and come back again and again bringing with it the same gloom and darkness.</span>
