Diferencias y semejanzas de los indígenas masai y kogui.

The differences that present are that the Kogui are sedentary, that is, they live permanently in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Maria, Colombia. On the other hand, the Masai are considered seminomads because they migrate with their houses and belongings in search of food and land.

Another difference is that the basis of the Kogui economy is agriculture, where each family moved to cultivate small lots ( they grow potatoes,corn,ect). The economy of the Masai tribe is based exclusively on fighting and stealing cattle from neighboring tribes.

The Masai dress with striking fabrics and with colorful pendants and earings , while the Kogui dress with Yakna, which is a thick clothing woven by themselves, which consist of a shirt and pants.

Another difference is that the Masai can marry as many women as it considers appropriate, it is a society that tolerates polygamy and even promiscuity, as long as it can support all of them, whereas the Kogui are monogamous, that is, they have only one person.

The similarities they present are that they speak their own language (the Masai speak english apart). Another similarity they present is the belief of their own god ( for the Kogui it is Jaba who manages nature and for the Masai it is Negai which brings them the rains).

answer; the civil right act of 1964;

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)
