Answer: \/ \/ \/

Explanation:

Chicxulub Crater- The Chicxulub crater is an impact crater buried underneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. Its center is located offshore near the communities of Chicxulub Puerto and Chicxulub Pueblo, after which the crater is named. It was formed when a large asteroid, about 10 kilometers in diameter, struck the Earth.

Manicouagan Crater-  The Manicouagan crater is one of the oldest known impact craters. It is in the Côte-Nord region of Québec, Canada. It was caused by the impact of a 5 km (3 mi) diameter asteroid about 215.5 million years ago, in the Upper Triassic.  The crater is a multiple-ring structure about 100 km (60 mi) across. Its inner ring is its most prominent feature. This is a 70 km (40 mi) diameter annular lake, the Manicouagan Reservoir, surrounding an inner island plateau. It is the earth's fifth largest confirmed impact crater.

Chesapeake Bay Crater- The Chesapeake Bay impact crater was formed by a bolide that impacted the eastern shore of North America about 35.5 ± 0.3 million years ago, in the late Eocene epoch. It is one of the best-preserved "wet-target" impact craters in the world.

Sudbury Basin- The Sudbury Basin, also known as Sudbury Structure or the Sudbury Nickel Irruptive, is a major geological structure in Ontario, Canada. It is the third-largest known impact crater or astrobleme on Earth, as well as one of the oldest. The crater formed 1.849 billion years ago in the Paleoproterozoic era.

Give 3 reasons why government from caricom countries provide funding to support the region's cultural practices. (in social stud
krek1111 [17]

As an area that has fought for independence from colonialization and European powers, governments from CARICOM (Caribbean Communities Organization) countries provide funding to support the region's cultural practices for multiple reasons.

According to the CARICOM Regional Cultural Policy, the three main reasons for government funding toward cultural support include: to provide people who are trained in the arts and other areas of culture, to establish and maintain cultural preservation institutions, and to ensure proper management of cultural institutions and heritage.

Doing the aforementioned things will ensure that care is taken to preserve the cultural heritage of an area that has received much interaction and assimilation with world powers. This interaction can be threatening to the stability of cultural preservation by those who may be ignorant, and/or untrained, in the preservation important heritage factors. The CARICOM nations are also striving to maintain independence and ensure during the development process in developing Caribbean countries that they may remain self-sufficient.
