Answer: "No man's land."
Context/explanation:
Trench warfare in World War I was miserable and gruesome. The armies had dug into trenches across from one another, and any attempts to rush out and attack the other side usually meant getting mowed down by machine gun fire. You might want to check out <em>All Quiet on the Western Front</em> by Erich Maria Remarque (1929) for first-hand descriptions of the misery of the trench warfare.
The term "no man's land" meant that the area between the safety of the opposing trenches was no place to be. You were likely to get slaughtered if you ventured out there.
- <em>A sidenote for sports fans: If you're a tennis player, the term "no man's land" is used also in tennis, a throwback to the terminology of World War I. A tennis player wants to be hitting ground strokes from the back of the court, or else be all the way up at net to hit volleys while at net. If a player gets caught in the middle of his side of the courr -- "no man's land" -- his opponent will hit the ball right at his feet and make it impossible for him to hit a return. </em>
I believe the correct answer choice is C
The most important detail would be the water and its preservation.
The western part of the United States is a region that has an ever-growing population. This has resulted in numerous environmental problems, that only seem to become bigger and more alarming as the time passes on.
The biggest problem of all is definitely the water, its usage, and its preservation. This region doesn't have big reserves of water, but despite that, the preservation and usage of the same is at a low level. Instead of planting crops or fruit trees that do not require lot of water, big portion of the farmlands are the total opposite, planted with highly demanding crops and fruit trees for water. Because of that, most of the groundwater has been already used, and that has been the largest source of freshwater in the region. The pollution of the rivers is also a big problem, because making the water not suitable for drinking, with having such small reserves, can easily lead to a disaster.
<span>The 17th century saw Sweden as an European "Great Power" and one of the major military and political combatants on the continent during the Thirty Years' War. By mid-century, the kingdom included part of Norway, all of Finland and stretched into Russia. Sweden's control of portions of modern Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Germany made the Baltic Sea essentially a Swedish lake.</span>
Explanation:
Known as the Cradle of Civilization, the Fertile Crescent is regarded as the birthplace of agriculture, urbanization, writing, trade, science, history and organized religion and was first populated c. 10,000 BCE when agriculture and the domestication of animals began in the region. By 9,000 BCE the cultivation of wild grains and cereals was wide-spread and, by 5000 BCE, irrigation of agricultural crops was fully developed. By 4500 BCE the cultivation of wool-bearing sheep was practiced widely.
The geography and climate of the region were conducive to agriculture and hunter-gatherer societies shifted to sedentary communities in the area as they were able to support themselves from the land. The climate was semi-arid but the humidity, and proximity of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers (and, further south, the Nile), encouraged the cultivation of crops. Rural communities developed along with technological advances in agriculture and, once these were established, domestication of animals followed.
