Select a modern society (ex. a country or group of countries) that you consider to be in its "golden age." Find at least one piece of evidence from each of the following categories to prove that your selected society is in its golden age (at least five pieces of evidence): artistic, architectural, and/or intellectual achievements medical, technological, and/or scientific contributions economics (business, employment, and trade) politics and government social developments and/or humanitarian efforts Write a 4–6 paragraph essay that explains why you think the society is in its "golden age." Include descriptions and details about each piece of evidence you found. Be sure to clearly explain how each piece of evidence helps prove that the society you selected is in its golden age.

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)
