why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at a subduction boundary?
Answer:
This is because Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. At a subduction zone, the oceanic crust usually sinks into the mantle beneath lighter continental crust. (Sometimes, oceanic crust may grow so old and that dense that it collapses and spontaneously forms a subduction zone.
Among Minnesotans, 38 percent report their ancestry as German. Why might this be? A. because the weather in Minnesota is similar to that in Germany B. because the Midwest is predominantly Caucasian C. because people in Minnesota sided with Germany in WWII D. because a large wave of Germans immigrated to the Midwest in the 19th century
Germans fled to Minnesota for many reason, with D) because a large wave of Germans immigrated to the Midwest in the 19th century being one of them.

Explanation:
For a named river you have studied, explain the causes of flooding.
Answer:
Severe flooding is caused by atmospheric conditions that lead to heavy rain or the rapid melting of snow and ice. Geography can also make an area more likely to flood. For example, areas near rivers and cities are often at risk for flash floods. A flood is an overflow of water onto land that is normally dry. River flooding can happen when there is debris in the river or dams that block the flow of the water. Speaking of dams, broken dams are another cause of flooding. Older infrastructure can fail when heavy rains come and water levels rise.
