Identify 2 other military events that proved the colonists were serious in their struggle against the british

They killed 1000 soldiers even tough 400 colonists were killed. surrounded the King so he'd surrender.

Explanation:

The independence process of the English colonies led to an armed conflict with England, which sought to secure its dominion over the colony. The war of independence of the United States caused countless deaths of English (and even American) soldiers and left the king of England surrounded and with no alternative but to allow the independence of the colonies. This war continued until 1781, with a battle in the city of Yorktown.

With the end of the war, the British signed the Treaty of Paris in 1783, in which they recognized the independence of their former colony. After independence, the Thirteen Colonies adopted a republican model and a federalist system that guaranteed the application of autonomy for the states. The name adopted for the new nation was that of the United States of America.

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)
