The main purpose of general sherman's "march to the sea" in 1864 was to convince france and britain to get out of the war capture the important railroad depot of charleston permanently destroy georgia's ability to produce cotton destroy the south's strategic and economic capacity to fight

It's either B or D ...I'm leaning more towards D tho.

its D :destroy the South's strategic and economic capacity to fight

Explanation:

sherman destroyed everything in his path during the "march tothe sea". he did whats know to the railroads as "bow tieing them" when they could not be straightened back out and be destroyed making the trains useless and set fire to atlanta destroying their stuff for the war.

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)
