"Nones"

Explanation:

The "nones" - as secular families are known, and generally those who do not identify with any religion - are on the rise in the US and already represent a third of adults under 30.

In addition to people without religion, this term is used to refer to Asians, youth, men, independent politicians, those living in the Pacific and New England regions, college graduates, and people in higher income brackets.

The group of people not affiliated with any religion, the “nones”, in the United States in 2018, represented 23.1% of the population, surpassing the evangelicals (22.5%) and practically tied with Catholics (23.0%). ). In the United States, considered to be the largest Christian developed country in the world, the growth of the "Nones" has accelerated in the last ten years.

explanation:

not sure if that's an answer to your questions but this is an example! : )

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)
