Which of the following best explains why oceanic crust is subducted beneath continental crust?
a. oceanic crust is primarily sedimentary rock, which is softer than continental crust and is easily subducted.
b. oceanic crust is denser than continental crust, causing oceanic crust to sink down below continental crust.
c. continental crust is denser than oceanic crust, causing oceanic crust to be deflected down into earth's mantle.
d. continental crust is made of harder metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, which causes oceanic crust to break when the two types of crust collide.

c is you’re correct answer

here are some major conflicts i found. maybe pick one and do more research on it. (cause i ain't writing 6 paragraphs)

in 1877, the nez perce war took place.

1881 - president james garfield was assassinated.

1882 - the chinese exclusion act was passed.

1883 - a decision in the civil rights cases legalized racial segregation in the united states.

1887 - the dawes act was passed.

1893 - the panic of 1893 took place. (what a creative name)

and there are probably other topics you can find if you just search up "united states timeline," or "conflicts in the 19th century for america."

then once you find a topic you like find out how it affected the people of america and what not. (sorry if this feels a bit short changed, history was and never will be one of my strong topics)
