Answer:

Volcanoes may form at a fault where a transform fault exists is not a true statement.

Explanation:

olcThe volcanoes can be found across the globe, in most of the regions. What can be noticed though is that there is a high concentration of volcanoes a certain places, while there is much less or lacking in others. The places where there is high concetration of volcanoes are along the divergent and convergent plate boundaries, with isolated volcanic chains in the interior of the plates caused by hot spots.

The places where volcanoes are lacking, except the vast majority of the interior of the plates, are the transform plate boundaries. The reason for this is that at these plate boundaries the plates don't create a gap between each other and make the crust thinner so that magma can move toward the surface, instead, they slide past each other, thus create pressure between each other, which would make it even harder for magma to come out on the surface than in an interior of a plate.

poizon [28]

Answer:

criollos and peninsulares

Explanation:

During the Spanish ruling in Mexico, the population was very segregated, mostly on ethnic base, or on place of birth. This created lot of tensions, as the Spanish born in Spain, called peninsulares, where the ones on top of the hierarchy as they were considered to be superior, while the Spanish born in the Americas, called criollos, were considered as inferior and were lower in the hierarchy. This gradually led to big displeasure, especially because the criollos were treated badly, so the people started to gear up for revolution in order to gain independence and kick out the Spanish. The moment was right once Spain got attacked by France on European soil, so its military was focused in defending the homeland. The criollos and the other ethnic groups organized and attacked, being able to overcome the weakened Spanish forces and gain independence.

What is essential for a confederation?

user100 [1]

Answer:

smaller political units maintaining their sovereignty

Explanation:

Confederation is the name given to a country that is a federation, but the states that make up that country maintain their sovereignty, separate from the power of the federal government. In this case, to maintain a confederation it is essential that the smaller political units, the states, maintain their sovereignty. This is different from a federation, because in a federation, states lose sovereignty, transferring it to the federal government.
