The Laramide Rockies formed between about 85-50 million years ago. A popular theory is this event was caused by "flat slab subdu

ction" of over-thickened oceanic crust. From your understanding of mountain building processes in this part of the course, evaluate the following question(s). a. Was this mountain building process an Andean type mountain building event, a collisional event, or both; and what might have been subducted to produce the over-thickened oceanic crust that drove the orogeny? b. If these mountains formed 50 million years ago, why are they still high?

Weapons of mass destruction include those that are chemical, biological and nuclear.
denis-greek [22]
This would be true. Biowarfare has been common as far back as people vaulting victims of sickness over walls of enemy lands, and chemical and nuclear types of warfare, while more recent, are still considered major weapons of mass destruction.

Write about the poverty in Afghanistan
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Most of the money in Afghanistan is not suprisingly used to purchase weapons, amoury and military confinements. This obviously doesn't come cheap. So in thought that war would get them rich, making civilians happier with life in Afghan, everything went wrong and they had a downfall. There is not a single battle going on meaning weapons cannot be used. Meaning it was a waste of money. They then sold few amounts of guns, armoury and soldiers to the U.S and got not much money. This is why they are what they are today.
