1 We don't notice the earth changing much during our lifetime. A volcano or earthquake might change the land a bit. But in geologic time, the earth is changing quickly. 2 Do you know that Africa and South America are moving farther apart? Other movements are also taking place. The theory of continental drift helps to explain these events.

3 Mapmakers were the first to think about drifting continents. They made the first maps in the late 1500s. They noticed how the continents might have once fit together. It looked sort of like a jigsaw puzzle. Scientists studied the possibility of this drifting for years.

4 Alfred Wegener presented his ideas in 1912. He called his theory continental drift. He believed that the continents were once joined together. They were a single land mass.

5 Wegener called this giant continent Pangaea. This is a Greek word. It means "all the earth." He believed Pangaea began to break apart 200 million years ago. He studied fossils and other data to support his ideas.

The picture is the next part of the story.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

the correct answer is c. analytical reasoning. it is when you analyze the situation to form conclusions.

sorry, idk never read it
