Explanation:

South Carolina is a state located in the southeastern United States. It is limited to North Carolina to the north, Georgia to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.

Together with North Carolina, South Carolina was part of the British colony "Carolina", named after King Charles II of England. However, in 1712 the colonies separated. Important battles took place in this region during the period of the American Revolution in 1776. After independence from the United States, South Carolina was elevated to the status of state on May 23, 1788, becoming the eighth American state. A while later the first constitution of South Carolina was established, where a bicameral legislature was established with the lower house elected by the people and the upper house elected by the lower house.

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)
