Answer:

Sometimes an entire ocean closes as tectonic plates converge, causing blocks of thick continental crust to collide. A collisional mountain range forms as the crust is compressed, crumpled, and thickened even more. The effect is like a swimmer putting a beach ball under his or her belly—the swimmer will rise up considerably out of the water. The highest mountains on Earth today, the Himalayas, are so high because the full thickness of the Indian subcontinent is shoving beneath Asia.

The Appalachian Mountains formed during a collision of continents 500 to 300 million years ago. In their prime they probably had peaks as high as those in the modern zone of continental collision stretching from the Himalayas in Asia to the Alps in Europe. But over the past 300 million years, the Appalachians have eroded to more modest heights.

Answer:

31. C. Law of Effect

32. D. Innate satisfying stimuli

33. A. Modeling

Explanation:

BF Skinner elaborated the Law of Effect of Throndike by introducing reinforcement. Skinner proposed that behavior that is reinforced is more likely to be repeated and without reinforcement, it would eventually die out.

Primary reinforcers are unconditioned, meaning they are biologically important and learning is not necessary. Examples would be eating, sleeping, sex and the like.

The idea of modelling was introduced by Bandura. As children are surrounded by different individuals, exposed to TV characters and the like, they often observe and imitate the behavior of these "models". At first children are more likely to imitate those who are like them, and then evenutally associate the behavior to rewards and consequences. If the behavior they imitated lead to rewards, they would most likely continue the imitated behavior.

The conflict in the Middle East that centers around the nation of Israel is a very complex one. There are many historical events
NARA [144]

Answer:

Israel was created by the United Nations in the territory of Palestine, which is the ancient homeland of the Jewish People. Ever since its formation in 1947, Jewish People from other areas of the world, mainly from Europe, moved to the new country. The problem was that this area was already inhabited by Palestines, who are ethinically arabs, and whose religion is Islam. For this reason, from the beginning Israelis and Palestines had conflicts.
