Explanation:

The colonies have been of great benefit for the colonial powers. There are several reasons for that, with the main being the economic factor. The colonies were regions that were occupied, so the local population was suppressed and didn't had lot of rights, and the colonists were using the locals as a very cheap labor force. Also, the regions that were chosen to be colonies were regions that were rich in certain resources, so they provided the colonists with lot of raw materials for free. Once the raw materials were manufactured, the colonists were using the colonies as markets, and they were selling the finished goods to the locals, thus earning lot of money from it.

since there isn't any suggested answers i will give you the reason and hopefully you can figure it

south africa, or rather all of africa, has not been in the location in which it is nowadays throughout the geological past. after the super-continent pangaea started to break apart, gondwanaland, in which was africa, moved further south, and parts of it came to be very close to the south pole. because the climate in this part of the world is very cold due to the very dispersed sun rays in there, what is now south africa, started to freeze, and the conditions were right for the formation of glaciers. the glaciers existed up until the period when gondwanaland started to break apart and what is now africa started to move towards north, sp it warmed up and the glaciers melted.
