  D. John Locke

Explanation:

  He was an English philosopher and physician known as the "Father of Liberalism". His writings influenced many Enlightenment thinkers and American revolutionaries, Locke´s ideas are reflected in the Declaration of Independence.

  His political theories were published in 1689 under the name of "Two Treatises of Government". In the work, Locke attacked Patriarchalism and define his idea for a more civilized society based on natural rights and the contract theory. On his Second Treatise he discussed a theory of civil society, he said that all men are born equal in the state of nature. It is the responsibility of the governments to protect these rights; he argued that the legitimacy of the governments is given by the people so a government who does not have the consent of the people could be overthrown. He believed that revolution is not only a right but an obligation in some circumstances.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
