lincoln’s position on slavery was
a.
that is should be made illegal throughout the entire united states.
b.
that it should remain where it existed, but should not be allowed to extend into the new territories.
c.
that new territories should be able to choose whether they wanted to be free or slave.
d.
that slave states should be more heavily taxed than free states.

As much as Lincoln hated slavery, he owned slaves himself, meaning that if he made slavery illegal, he himself would no longer have any slaves.

After clearing that out of the way, we can solve this multiple choice question by using POE, or process of elimination:

A - It is incorrect because Lincoln owned slaves himself.

B - This is correct because this kept America peaceful at the time.

C - Again, Lincoln was against slavery.

D - Lincoln didn't believe in taxing slave states.

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)
