Answer: Glaciers caused the scarring

Explanation: Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface. Set forth in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, a geophysicist and meteorologist, continental drift also explained why look-alike animal and plant fossils, and similar rock formations, are found on different continents.

The theory of continental drift

Wegener thought all the continents were once joined together in an "Urkontinent" before breaking up and drifting to their current positions. But geologists soundly denounced Wegener's theory of continental drift after he published the details in a 1915 book called "The Origin of Continents and Oceans." Part of the opposition was because Wegener didn't have a good model to explain how the continents moved apart.

lozanna [386]

Answer:

Bacon's Rebellion was caused by:

A) favoritism and corruption among colonial elites

Explanation:

According to history, "Governor William Berkeley used new trade rules to increase his wealthy friends’ fortunes" while refusing to officially back the usurpation of the land of the friendly natives on the borders of Virginia.  These moves angered "Nathaniel Bacon, who had recently arrived in Virginia and was Berkeley’s cousin by marriage."  He termed the situation as "the governor’s disloyalty and unfairness."

Then, in 1676, Nathaniel Bacon led Virginia settlers to challenge the authority of Governor William Berkeley as he continued to protect the interests of the native Americans in the western frontier.  The Virginia settlers had believed that the western frontier belonged to them and not to the original native Americans whom they regarded as "barbarous heathen."  But, Governor William did not want to legitimize their demand with political authority.  His stand further infuriated Nathaniel Bacon, who decided to lead an armed rebellion to sack the natives from their land and later against the Governor, following his proscription of the rebellious group.
