Social dialects are based on social class, cultural background, socio-economic status, and second language acquisition. They are not geographical areas. So which of the ones below are social and not geographical? a. Utah English
b. New York English
c. Spanish Influenced English
d. African American Vernacular English
e. Asian Influenced English

Explanation:

Spanish influenced English is mostly spoken by Latinos who added their distinct characteristics to it to make it more customized. It is therefore a social dialect.

The same goes for the African American English which has become popular the world over due to hip-hop music having spread around the world.

Asian influenced English is also a social dialect as it is based on the cultural background, social class and cultures of the Asian people.

uhh idk for sure but i think it makes it difficult to pump the oil through the oil rigs

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)
