The correct answer is thrifty gene theory.
This theory, proposed by James V. Neel, was first introduced in order to prove that some people are genetically predisposed to having diabetes. However, over time, the theory expanded to encompass why people are prone to retaining weight as well.

  • . The fighting was most intense during two invasions that Persia launched against mainland Greece between 490 and 479. Although the Persian empire was at the peak of its strength, the collective defense mounted by the Greeks overcame seemingly impossible odds and even succeeded in liberating Greek city-states on the fringe of Persia itself.
  • The Greek triumph ensured the survival of Greek culture and political structures long after the demise of the Persian empire.

#GRECO-PERSIAN WARS EVENTS

  • In the generation before 522, the Persian kings Cyrus II and Cambyses II extended their rule from the Indus River valley to the Aegean Sea. After the defeat of the Lydian king Croesus (c. 546), the Persians gradually conquered the small Greek city-states along the Anatolian coast.
  • In 522 Darius came to power and set about consolidating and strengthening the Persian empire.

  • In 500 BCE the Greek city-states on the western coast of Anatolia rose up in rebellion against Persia.
  • This uprising, known as the Ionian revolt (500–494 BCE), failed, but its consequences for the mainland Greeks were momentous. Athens and Eretria had sent a small fleet in support of the revolt, which Darius took as a pretext for launching an invasion of the Greek mainland. His forces advanced toward Europe in 492 BCE, but, when much of his fleet was destroyed in a storm, he returned home
  • . However, in 490 a Persian army of 25,000 men landed unopposed on the Plain of Marathon, and the Athenians appealed to Sparta to join forces against the invader.
  • Owing to a religious festival, the Spartans were detained, and the 10,000 Athenians had to face the Persians aided only by 1,000 men from Plataea.
  • The Athenians were commanded by 10 generals, the most daring of whom was Miltiades. While the Persian cavalry was away, he seized the opportunity to attack.
  • The Greeks won a decisive victory, losing only 192 men to the Persians’ 6,400 (according to the historian Herodotus)
  • The Greeks then prevented a surprise attack on Athens itself by quickly marching back to the city.

#Darius I

  • Darius I seated before two incense burners, detail of a bas-relief of the north courtyard in the Treasury at Persepolis, late 6th–early 5th century BCE;

  • After their defeat at Marathon, the Persians went home, but they returned in vastly greater numbers 10 years later, led by Darius’s successor, Xerxes
  • . The unprecedented size of his forces made their progress quite slow, giving the Greeks plenty of time to prepare their defense. A general Greek league against Persia was formed in 481.
  • Command of the army was given to Sparta, that of the navy to Athens. The Greek fleet numbered about 350 vessels and was thus only about one-third the size of the Persian fleet. Herodotus estimated the Persian army to number in the millions, but modern scholars tend to doubt his reportage.
  • The Greeks decided to deploy a force of about 7,000 men at the narrow pass of Thermopylae and a force of 271 ships under Themistocles at Artemisium. Xerxes’ forces advanced slowly toward the Greeks, suffering losses from the weather.

Shannon is a researcher who studies sleep patterns in humans in controlled settings. shannon most likely uses _____
Mariulka [41]

Shannon most likely uses Laboratory Observation for studying sleep patterns in humans in controlled settings.

Observing the behavior of subjects in a controlled environment is referred to as laboratory observation, as opposed to naturalistic observation. Variable factors in the controlled environment can be controlled, resulting in a limited number of possible responses. The experimental conditions are more tightly controlled. Measuring instruments are frequently easier and more efficient to use.

The Laboratory Observation method has the advantage of allowing you to observe how people or subjects react to a specific object. The laboratories do not need to be sterile. The disadvantage is that you cannot observe their natural reaction as that can be done in naturalistic observation.

The photo shows Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park. Which statement correctly identifies Old Faithful and explains how it
ivolga24 [154]

The correct answer is - It is a geyser that formed due to water heated by magma erupting at Earth's surface.

Old Faithful is the best known of the geysers in Yellowstone National Park. It is a very big geyser that shoots the boiling hot water relatively high.

The formation of Old Faithful is due to the geological activity in the region. There's lot of volcanic activity in this area, so there's also lot of magma in the area. Because there are lot of cracks in the crust, as well as the magma being very close to the surface, the water is heated deep into the ground. The high pressure contributes to the hot water to be shoot out around 32 meters into the air.

Old Faithful is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Yellowstone National Park, and it is also the first geysers in this area that got its own name back in 1870.
