The 3 major mountain ranges in the United States are the Pacific ranges and Rocky Mountains in the west and the Appalachian mountains in the east. The Pacific ranges are on the northwestern coast of the United States. The Rocky Mountains are in the western United States but east of the Pacific ranges. They extend all the way from Canada into Mexico and cover 8 states. The Appalachian Mountains are near the East Coast of the United States. They extend from Canada to Alabama. The main difference between the eastern mountain ranges and the western mountain ranges is their ages and heights. The Appalachian Mountain range is the oldest range in the United States. Because of this, the range has faced weathering and erosion, which has worn the mountains down. The highest peaks in the Appalachians are only 6,000 feet. The ranges in the west are much younger and in some cases still growing. The mountains in the west are much higher than those in the east, with peaks over 14,000 ft.

How does groundwater create caverns? Caverns are created when acidic groundwater dissolves and carries away limestone over time.
Trava [24]

Answer:

Caverns are created when moving groundwater mechanically weathers sediment and transports it elsewhere, leaving behind large empty spaces.

Explanation:

The movement of groundwater causes erosion that is responsible for the formation of caves. These caves are formed due to mechanical weathering of rocks. Mechanical weathering plays an major role in creating caverns by dissolving of limestone rock due to acidic water that reacts with limestone and removes it with the passage of time that forms caves. The normal pH water can't perform this job due to no reaction occurs with limestone.

The Italian merchants sometimes sailed across the Mediterranean Sea to Syria, where they could buy black pepper that had been gr
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

In the Middle Ages, spices that are now ordinary were rare imports from faraway places.

Explanation:

The central idea of the text can be defined by the excerpt above.

The text is explaining the process that Italian merchants had to go through in order to carry a expensive spice (pepper) from Syria to the fairs of Champagne, in France.

This is because spices were a very well-regarded and expensive product that could only be afforded by the wealthy at the time, since shipping methods at the time were primitive (slow ships, camels), raising the cost of these products to levels that would be hard to imagine today.

one angle of a triangle measures 125 degrees the other two angles are in a ratio of 4:7. what are the measures of the two angles
Ilya [14]
Angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
180 - 125 = 55
Add the ratios 4+7 = 11
Divide the left over angels by the ratio: 55/11 = 5
Now multiply 5 by each side of the ratio:
4:7
4*5 = 20
7*5 = 35

So the 2 angles are 20 and 35 degrees.

To check, you can add up all the angels : 20 + 35 + 125 = 180
So we know 20 and 35 is correct because it adds up to 180 degrees :)
