Answer:

The correct answer is A) Hernando DeSoto was the first known European explorer in what is now the Southeast.

D: Spain founded Catholic "missions" to spread their influence in North America.

E) Diseases spread by the Spanish caused many American Indians to die.

Explanation:

Hernando DeSoto was a celebrated Spanish explorer who worked under the Spanish crown to explore, plunder and conquer the new world. While he was not the first European to explore North America, he is widely reported as the first to reach the great Mississippi river.

He led his expeditions from modern-day Florida and moved upwards, exploring Alabama, Georgia and neighboring regions. This would rightly be described as the US Southeast today.

While he was not able to establish colonies here, he had a number of clashes with local tribes and more devastating were the diseases that his crew carried. Small pox and measles were unheard of in the new world and wherever they traveled, the diseases spread quickly.

Also, Spain used religion as a means to convert people and bring them under their sphere of influence.

The history of the oxygen regulator

Contact [7]

Answer:

umm here are some facts about it!Hope this helps!

The first cylinders for storing oxygen were developed in 1868,5 which allowed its use in general anesthesia. By 1885, George Holtzapple used oxygen to manage a young patient with pneumonia, and established its role in acute care.

"The existence and properties of oxygen had been noted by many scientists before the announcement of its isolation by Priestley in 1774. Scheele had also succeeded in preparing oxygen from a number of substances, but the publication of his findings was delayed until after that of Priestley's. As a result, Priestley and Scheele are credited with the discovery of the element independently. The fact that the gas is a component of the atmosphere was finally and definitely established by Lavoisier a few years later. In 1929, W. F. Giaque and H. L. Johnston announced the discovery of two isotopes of oxygen, of mass numbers 17 and 18.

Oxygen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas; it is the first member of Group 16 of the periodic table

. It is denser than air and only slightly soluble in water. A poor conductor of heat and electricity, oxygen supports combustion but does not burn. Normal atmospheric oxygen is a diatomic gas (O2) with a molecular weight of 31.9988. Ozone is a highly reactive triatomic (O3) allotrope of oxygen (see allotropy). When cooled below its boiling point oxygen becomes a pale blue liquid; when cooled still further the liquid solidifies, retaining its color. Oxygen is paramagnetic in its solid, liquid, and gaseous forms. Although eight isotopes of oxygen are known, atmospheric oxygen is a mixture of the three isotopes with mass numbers 16, 17, and 18.

Oxygen is extremely active chemically, forming compounds with almost all of the elements except the inert gases. Oxygen unites directly with a number of other elements to form oxides. It is a constituent of many acids and of hydroxides, carbohydrates, proteins, fats and oils, alcohols, cellulose, and numerous other compounds such as the carbonates, chlorates, nitrates and nitrites, phosphates and phosphites, and sulphates and sulphites."

Are Gifford Pinchot's ideas about rational use of natural resources still applicable today?

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

For Pinchot, nature was a resource that ought to be sustainably shared among the most people possible. These opposing views might have made the two men natural enemies. But camped together beside jewel-like Lake McDonald in what would become Glacier National Park, they took a liking to each other.
