Answer:

Floods

Explanation:

Answer 1, drought, is incorrect because a drought is a lack of water.

Answer 2, hurricane, is incorrect because, while a hurricane also uses water, they're caused by strong winds.

Answer 3, floods, is correct because heavy rainfall or violent wave activity can lead to floods.

Answer 4, tornadoes, is incorrect because tornadoes revolve around strong winds, not rainfall nor wave activity.

I hope this helps!

Heavy rainfall or violent wave activity can cause "floods", since if a particular area that is affected by these weather conditions lacks the drainage resources necessary to reduce the water build up then it has nowhere to go.

PLS HELP PLEASEEEEEE How and why was the concept of private property developed?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Private property refers to a kind of system that allocates particular objects like pieces of land to particular individuals to use and manage as they please, to the exclusion of others and to the exclusion of any detailed control by society. In legal terms it's usually a designation for the ownership of property by non-governmental legal entities. Private property is distinguishable from public property, which is owned by a state entity; and from collective (or cooperative) property, which is owned by a group of non-governmental entities Certain political philosophies like socialism and anarchism make a clear distinction between private and personal property while others blend the two together. Private property is a legal concept defined and enforced by a country's political system

Compose an interview between yourself and the Enlightenment philosopher you mentioned in part B of this activity. In this interv
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

PLATO WORD FOR WORD

Explanation:

Me: Mr. Voltaire, your idea of religious tolerance has always been very controversial. But it has affected many people in positive ways. How do you feel about that?

Mr. Voltaire: It makes me very happy that many people have adopted the idea of religious freedom and tolerance. Back in my day, I didn’t know if it would ever happen. I am truly glad to see my ideas blossom.

Me: Sir, you were imprisoned multiple times for your views on religious tolerance. In an article by Frank Morris titled “In America’s Heartland, Building One Home for Three Faiths,” I learned about three religions coming together to build three places of worship. In the article, a woman stated, “We love our building. There is literally no good reason to move whatsoever, except to follow this Tri-Faith Initiative, which has really, absolutely moved our hearts.” What do you think about that?

Mr. Voltaire: I read that article as well. What I understood from it was that a Muslim mosque, a Christian church, and a Jewish synagogue were going to be constructed on a single piece of land. I am glad that people are coming together and spreading the message of religious tolerance and freedom.

Me: However, there are some people who are not happy about this event. They think that it spreads the wrong message. They worry that it could affect the peace and civility of the area. What are your views on such people?

Mr. Voltaire: Well, that’s disheartening. But, I think that there are always going to be a small group of people who may be closed-minded and intolerant toward other views or new ideas. But I am happy that a majority of the people are looking at this venture in a positive light.

Why was the Presidential election of 1860 important?
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

So basically... the presidential election of 1860 was important because it is when the election of the president of the United States was held. Lincoln won the election and had more electoral votes. He had more popular votes than any candidate. Since the election had four main candidates, it allowed Lincoln to gain more electoral votes than he would. :)

Which statement best characterizes the significance of the invention of the cotton gin?
Sidana [21]

Antebellum Period summary: The Antebellum Period in American history is generally considered to be the period before the civil war and after the War of 1812, although some historians expand it to all the years from the adoption of the Constitution in 1789 to the beginning of the Civil War. It was characterized by the rise of abolition and the gradual polarization of the country between abolitionists and supporters of slavery. During this same time, the country’s economy began shifting in the north to manufacturing as the Industrial Revolution began, while in the south, a cotton boom made plantations the center of the economy. The annexation of new territory and western expansion saw the reinforcement of American individualism and of Manifest Destiny, the idea that Americans and the institutions of the U.S. are morally superior and Americans are morally obligated to spread these institutions.

The Cotton Economy In The South

In the South, cotton plantations were very profitable, at least until overplanting leached most of the nutrients from the soil. Advances in processing the fiber, from Eli Whitney’s cotton gin to the development of power looms and the sewing machine, increased demand for cotton to export from the South to England and the mills of New England. Plantation owners were able to obtain large tracts of land for little money, particularly after the Indian Removal Act was passed in 1830. These plantations depended on a large force of slave labor to cultivate and harvest the crop—most white farmers in the 19th century wanted and were able to obtain their own farms as the U.S. expanded south and west, and slaves not only provided a labor source that couldn’t resign or demand higher wages, their progeny insured that labor source would continue for generations.

The demand for slave labor and the U.S. ban on importing more slaves from Africa drove up prices for slaves, making it profitable for smaller farmers in older settled areas such as Virginia to sell their slaves further south and west. Most farmers in the South had small- to medium-sized farms with few slaves, but the large plantation owner’s wealth, often reflected in the number of slaves they owned, afforded them considerable prestige and political power. As the quality of land decreased from over-cultivation, slave owners increasingly found that the majority of their wealth existed in the form of their slaves; they began looking to new lands in Texas and further west, as well as in the Caribbean and Central America, as places where they might expand their holdings and continue their way of life.
