Research by developmental psychologist Angeline Lillard (2008; Lillard & Else-Quest, 2006) found that children who attended ___ preschools were more advanced in both cognitive and social development than those attending other preschools. Waldorf Montessori Reggio Emilia the most academically strict

Montessori

Explanation:

Montessori preschool , as per research of Lillard and Else-Quest is the preschool in which children tend to freely indulge in activities that they can pursue as per age.They can learn individually in such school for cognitive development as well as social development with peers.

Other options are incorrect because Reggie, Emilia and most academically strict are not the preschools that made a child more advanced in social development and cognitive development. Thus, the correct option is Montessori.

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)
