Answer: The northern earls wanted Catholicism restored in England, instead of the Protestant Church which existed instead.

Explanation: the Northern Earls had become enraged over a number of issues that it led to the Revolt of the Northern Earls in 1569 and this was one of the issues The northern earls wanted Catholicism restored in England, instead of the Protestant Church which existed instead.

With communication being so difficult during the reign of Elizabeth, it was very difficult to govern such as large country and ensure that everyone was doing what they were supposed to. As a result of this many people in the North of England were still Catholics. This counted against the Northern nobles who remained loyal to Catholicism, when Elizabeth became Queen. Elizabeth as a Protestant promoted Protestants to key government positions of power.

During 1569, the Northern Earls had become enraged over a number of issues that it led to the Revolt of the Northern Earls in 1569. The Earls, first and foremost disagreed with Elizabeth about religion. They wanted Catholicism restored in England, instead of the Protestant Church which existed instead. Secondly, as a result of their Catholicism they had lost a great deal of influence at Court and this had annoyed many. In addition to this, Elizabeth’s lifestyle choices provoked the Earls as she refused to marry or to name and heir, leaving the future of the Kingdom in doubt.

There was however a solution to all of their problems. They had Elizabeth’s cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots as a figurehead who could replace Elizabeth. By replacing Elizabeth as Queen, Mary would be able to restore Catholicism, return the Earls to a position of influence and marry another Catholic to ensure the safety of Catholicism in England.

The key figures in the plot were Thomas Percy, the Earl of Northumberland; Charles Neville, Earl of Westmorland and Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk. Both Neville and Percy had lost position at court, and Norfolk too felt displaced as a result of the younger Protestant nobles which Elizabeth doted on.

It can be argued that the Revolt of the Northern Earls was a religious dispute, as the Earls wanted the restoration of Catholicism in England. Elizabeth had appointed James Pilkington as Archbishop of Durham in 1561. Pilkington was a Protestant and his appointment was supposed to stamp out Catholicism in northern England. Pilkington was harsh in his methods, and instead of turning the masses to Protestantism, the opposite occurred with many turning away from Protestantism and embracing Catholicism more fully.

However, some have argued that the Revolt was in fact a political problem rather than a religious one. Many of the Earls had felt displaced at court and a result began to detest Elizabeth. For Percy, the appointment of Sir John Forster as the Earl in charge of protecting England’s borders with Scotland cut deep. Many Earls did not like the influence and power that many ‘newcomers’ had over Elizabeth. In addition to this, Elizabeth refused to have an heir to succeed her. The Earls wanted to replace Elizabeth with Mary, Queen of Scots which would have ensured that the succession was secure. Mary, would marry the Duke of Norfolk and create an heir resulting in stability for England.

Answer:

Explanation:

The Great Depression of the late 1920s and ’30s remains the longest and most severe economic downturn in modern history. Lasting almost 10 years (from late 1929 until about 1939) and affecting nearly every country in the world, it was marked by steep declines in industrial production and in prices (deflation), mass unemployment, banking panics, and sharp increases in rates of poverty and homelessness. In the United States, where the effects of the depression were generally worst, between 1929 and 1933 industrial production fell nearly 47 percent, gross domestic product (GDP) declined by 30 percent, and unemployment reached more than 20 percent. By comparison, during the Great Recession of 2007–09, the second largest economic downturn in U.S. history, GDP declined by 4.3 percent, and unemployment reached slightly less than 10 percent.

Which theory explains why rocks found on the ocean floor are younger than those found on continents?
Katarina [22]
It is because of subduction<span>: oceanic crust tends to get colder and denser with age as it spreads off the mid-ocean ridges. It gets so dense, that it sinks in the upper </span><span>mantle </span><span>(subduction). This is like a giant recycling system for oceanic lithosphere! Because continental crust is lighter than oceanic crust, continental crust cannot subduct. We therefore still have some very </span>old continental rocks<span> at the surface of the Earth.</span>
