G What benefit provided by Louisiana's ports does this
passage address?
Read this passage about Louisiana's ports.
Finally, ports provide a connection for industries within
the state, but they are also direct contributors to the
state's economy when they can increase cargo being
shipped through Louisiana ports and this cargo
originates in another state. Louisiana ports are from this
perspective a business providing even more direct
spending in the Louisiana economy.
O how they bring business to Louisiana from other
states
O how they help the United States compete with other
nations
O how they create more American jobs in the export
industries
O how they boost free trade in North America based on
NAFTA

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)
