Answer:

The presence of iridium in concentrations higher than 100 times the normal in the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary supports the Alvarez Impact Hypothesis.

Explanation:

Father and Son Alvarez argued that since iridium is present in extremely minute quantities on earth, its presence in very high concentrations in this layer which is thought to date back to 66 million years is evidence that an extraterrestrial impact took place which brought the iridium. The high destructive nature of the impact spread the iridium far and wide which deposited on the surface which is why it is present in this layer which dates back to that period.

Compare liberal education and excerpt from kaffir boy<br>​
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Education is an important topic in Mark Mathabane’s autobiography because when he was growing up in South Africa, the apartheid system made it very difficult for a black child to get anything close to an adequate education. The experiences Mathabane relates, however, extend far beyond attending school.

The role of African traditional culture, which Mark (previously Johannes) learned from his mother, also played a significant role. His mother could not read but had learned and transmitted the cultural information orally. From his mother, he also learned optimism about his own place in the world and the possibilities for black Africans in their country, which helped counter the negativity his father held and expressed.

How did geography affect the development of civilization?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Towns grew up along the rivers which had access to the sea. Rivers also provided protection from invaders. Farmers grew crops in the fertile fields that surrounded the towns. The lack of mountains was good for farming, but it made the towns easier to be invaded by enemies.
