Answer:

Aqueducts

Explanation:

Residents could gather water in jugs, buckets, and other containers from several fountains located throughout the city. Water was constantly flowing to these fountains since the 'tap' was always turned on. The pressure in the water was just gravity at work. All the pressure was produced by the water flowing downwards as it entered the city by aqueducts from the highlands. They used a siphon, which was essentially a larger tube for water traveling downhill and a smaller passage for water moving back upwards, producing pressure, as one method of transporting water uphill. The only method to increase water pressure was to move the same volume of water through a smaller opening, like when you place your thumb over a hose's end. Engineers would either build a wider tunnel for water to flow through or design additional channels for water to reach its destination if a bathhouse or community fountain needed more water. While this doesn't necessarily increase water pressure, it does imply that the fountain and bathroom might utilize more water. As the system grew, the supply was simply increased by adding more aqueducts. The Aqua Claudia entered the city via the Esquiline and was spread from there to various locations inside the city, but over time, Rome developed to have five aqueducts supplying the city.

Tatiana [17]

Answer: America sought to impose itself as a world power.

Explanation:

The reason for joining the united states is the effort to impose itself as a world power after decades of isolation. In that direction, they acted to exploit the revolution in Cuba that the population sought to achieve because of Spanish dominance. So the cause was the Cuban Revolution, and the real reasons are the effort to make the country stand out on the international front as a vital force.

Many riots and internal problems weakened the Spanish. In such circumstances, America wanted territorial expansion. The end of the conflict brought Cuba independence, but Cuba was under US jurisdiction. The Philippines, Guam and Puerto Rico have become parts of the United States.
