Answer:

Spirit and Opportunity were sent to Mars to find more clues about the history of water there and see if the Red Planet could ever have supported life.

Explanation:

Both rovers measured the type and abundance of iron-bearing minerals, some of which are associated with water-driven processes. In this way, Opportunity found the mineral jarosite and Spirit found the mineral goethite. The rovers measured chemical elements, some of which are needed for life, in rocks and soils.

With data from the rovers, mission scientists have reconstructed an ancient past when Mars was awash in water. Spirit and Opportunity found evidence for past wet conditions that could have supported microbial life.

Spirit and Opportunity were sent to Mars to find more clues about the history of water there and see if the Red Planet could ever have supported life. To do this, scientists sent the two rovers to two different landing sites. The rovers landed on opposite sides of the planet.

Which of the following is a domestic influence on foreign policy?
LenKa [72]

The correct answer is - A famine in Ireland prompts US response.

With the Irish famine of the 19th century, and the response to it by the United States, we have a very nice example of domestic influence on foreign policy.

Namely, the Irish potato famine was so bad, that very large percentage of the Irish population actually died, and the rest of the population was on the verge of starvation. Because of this, lots of people wanted to move out of the country in order to at least be able to have food on the table. This prompted a response from the United States, and they made an exception in their strict foreign policy because of the Irish people, so opened their borders to them in order to help them, thus letting them settle in the country.
