The greek democracy and the roman republic both emerged about the same time. how did they differ?

The major difference is that the Greek democracy gave more power to more people than the Romans did.  The Romans had a direct democracy that got to vote on a lot of laws and have a part in carrying out the laws.  Roman laws were made much more by elected officials (Senate) and carried out by government officials like consuls and censors rather than by more ordinary people.

Both were very democratic for their times, but the Greek system was more of a direct democracy and the Roman system was more like our representative democracy.

I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.

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)
