Answer:
The water cycle
Explanation:
All our sources of fresh water, like rivers, wells, and aquifers, are dependent on <u>the water cycle</u> to replenish and maintain themselves.
Explanation:
According to some scientists agriculture was widespread in the Indian peninsula, 10000–3000 years ago, well beyond the fertile plains of the north. For example, one study reports 12 sites in the southern Indian states of [Tamil Nadu], [Andhra Pradesh]and [Karnataka] providing clear evidence of agriculture of pulses [Vigna radiata] and [Macrotyloma uniflorum], millet-grasses (Brachiaria ramosa and Setaria verticillata), wheats (Triticum dicoccum, Triticum durum/aestivum), barley (Hordeum vulgare), hyacinth bean (Lablab purpureus), pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), finger millet (Eleusine coracana), cotton (Gossypium sp.), linseed (Linum sp.), as well as gathered fruits of Ziziphus and two Cucurbitaceae.
Some claim Indian agriculture began by 9000 BC as a result of early cultivation of plants, and domestication of crops and animals. Settled life soon followed with implements and techniques being developed for agriculture. Double monsoons led to two harvests being reaped in one year. Indian products soon reached trading networks and foreign crops were introduced. Plants and animals—considered essential to survival by the Indians—came to be worshiped and venerated.
The middle ages saw irrigation channels reach a new level of sophistication, and Indian crops affected the economies of other regions of the world under Islamic patronage. Land and water management systems were developed with an aim of providing uniform growth.
Despite some stagnation during the later modern era the independent Republic of India was able to develop a comprehensive agricultural programme.
Answer:
b. stratigraphically alternating sequences of sandstones, conglomerates, and shales.
Explanation:
It is unlikely that one would find igneous rocks such as basalt and granite in fluvial environments. Coal is also not usually found in fluvial environments. Limestone prefers shallow and calm waters so would not be moved by water normally. This therefore invalidates options a, c, d, e and f.
For the hypothesis to be true, one would need to find conglomerates as these contain large clasts and are present in fluvial environments. Alternating sequences involving conglomerates and sandstones would indeed show that that some floods were able to carry large clasts.
Answer:
The sick and invalid members of society were cared for by the healthy citizens
Explanation:
From this passage, we get a simple very nice picture about the basics of how the Inca society worked. Everyone that was capable of working was working, and everyone was treated in the same manner, had the same rights, and the hierarchy was somewhat horizontal. The members of the society that had health problems or were disabled, thus were not able to work, were taken care by the other members of the society, and they were receiving the basic means for living for free from the storehouses.
