He suggested that at the centre of oceans, molten material would rise from the Earth’s mantle, causing new sea floor to be created, pushing the ocean floor. He also suggested that there were ocean trenches where old sea floor would then go back into the mantle, and molten. He found that these ocean trenches, the deepest parts of the ocean, were very near continental plates. Hess theorized that the action of the sea floor spreading caused continents to move apart and so this being evidence for continental drift, showing why it happened. The evidence of sea floor spreading was further supported by Vine and Drummond, who studied the magnetic pattern of the sea floor.

Therefore the reconstruction of early America demands a great amount of imagination for the interpretation of the era’s anthropology, archeology, and oral tradition-later recorded by Europeans. Richter uses his first chapter ‘Imagining a Distant World’ as a double entendre. He is describing the motivation that drove tens of thousands to leave Europe in search of a storied new land, while simultaneously admitting that he too is using his imagination to reconstruct an image of early America. Richter sites Carl Becker’s “Every Man His Own Historian”, which was published in American History Review, to support his admitted use of imagination in the reconstruction of events through the eyes of those who were facing

Carly Jones Mr. Smith SS 9H Period 9 20, November 2014 Geography is the physical features of earth. The geography of the Middle East has played a significant role in the development of its civilizations. Both rivers and deserts have played large roles in where cities develop.

Tigris and Euphrates became a region where great permanent settlements began.
To begin with, both Capotes were alike in a couple of ways. For example, the Capote in Capote in Kansas really understood the people he talked to. This was shown in the book because the detailed descriptions of the characters proved that Capote really paid attention to his research. In Capote In Kansas, when Capote talked to the murderers and the victims' family, he seemed to really grasped the people's personality. In In Cold Blood, the book described the characters so well that it was no secret that Capote comprehended the people.
MONTE VERDE: MIGRATION TO THE NEW WORLD “From Whence Came Those Aboriginals Of America?” Thomas Jefferson, arguably the first scientific investigator of the past, wrote that question in his field notes as he was excavating a mound at Monticello in 1787(Jefferson 1998). When and how humans arrived in the far flung parts of the world--that is, far flung from our Homo sapiens sapiens origins in Africa--is part of the essential problem that interests most archaeologists and paleontologists, and all people for that matter. After all, creation myths are in part attempts to answer the question "Where did we come from?" Origin myths are ancient oral history, and are by nature wrapped in uncertainty and vagueness; they often contradict one another
