They built numerous cities with the buildings and temples of stone, as well as the immense "heads" that are their renowned legacy. They have also developed a written system of pictographs even quicker than the civilization of  Mayan that followed them. The Mayans inherited religious beliefs, artistic skills, agricultural technology, some metallurgy, mathematics from the Olmec. They are usually considered as the first civilization that was ordered in the Americas and is considered to have even changed the Mayans and the Aztecs.

The following are the achievements of the Olmec civilization:

1.       Water Drainage

This was discovered by the archaeologists in the town of San Lorenzo, the largest city of Olmec cities. These was carved into a U type shape and covered by capstones. This was believed to be used as aqueduct to provide water throughout the cities.

2.       Calendar system

Describe<br> 2. What is the structure of Earth's atmosphere?
sergejj [24]

The atmosphere consists of 4 layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere. This is the layer where we live and where weather happens. Temperature in this layer generally decreases with height. The boundary between the stratosphere and the troposphere is called the tropopause. Above the tropopause lies the stratosphere. In this layer the temperature increases with height. This is because the stratosphere houses the ozone layer. The ozone layer is warm because it absorbs ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. The mesosphere is the layer above the stratosphere.This layer also contains ratios of nitrogen and oxygen similar to the troposphere, except the concentrations are 1000 times less and there is little water vapor there, so the air is too thin for weather to occur. The thermosphere is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere. In this layer the temperature increases with height because it is being directly heated by the sun.

I got this info from North Carolina Climate Office.
