Answer:
C. Cheyenne
Explanation:
The Cheyenne tribe established their nation in the land that now belongs to the state of Montana. Due to the information contained in the question, we know that horses played a valuable role in the life of Deleep's tribe. This was true because of the vast distances the Cheyenne had to cover. We also know that buffalo inhabited the same area as Deleep's tribe. The geographic location of the Cheyenne nation corresponds well with the range of the bison.

Answer:
March equinox is day during the year when all the daylight of the sun is asme at sunrise and sunset.
Explanation:
- Equinox is the time when the plane of the earth passes through the centre of the sun. Occurring around 23 March and 23 Sept. The vernal equinox is also called as the spring equinox.
- The azimuth of the sun is the angle of the sun's position defined by the relative direction along the horizon. However the most commonly followed convection for analyzing the sun radiation is 90 degrees east, south 180 degrees and west is 270 degrees.
- As sunrise and sunset are defined by the upper limb of the solar disk. These conditions produce patterns of night and day as the sun appears to move just above the horizon at an angle of 0.39 degrees per day as the equinox passes.
Answer:
The full form GPS is Global Positioning System.
Explanation:
The GPS was developed by the American federal government and it is known as Global Positioning system. It is one of the most widely used platform or software and popular way of the satellite navigation systems which works on the utilization of the network of satellites along with a control station and a electronic gadget where the information can be displayed.
The three examples of the ways of how people can use the information from the GPS satellites are :
1. to search location of other people
2. to communicate
3. to follow digital maps
i. Using fossil evidences
ii. Similar rock lithologies at the edges of continent
iii. Climate clues
iv. Fitting of the continents into a puzzle
v. Sea floor spreading
Explanation:
Pangea was a super-continent on the earth which formed about 330 million years ago during the Paleozoic and began breaking up during the early Mesozoic, about 175 million years ago.
Most of the present day continents formed as a result of the separation of the Pangea in the early Mesozoic.
The first scientist to propose the existence of this super-continent was Alfred Wegener in 1912. He suggested the continental drift hypothesis to explain the separation of the land masses.
Today, the theory has been revised to the theory of plate tectonics which provides a better mechanism to understand the drifting of the continents.
Here are some of the evidences to support the existence of Pangea;
- Using fossil evidences: Mesosaurus, a reptile animal that lived during the Permian, was found in both South America and Southern Africa. Since this animal could not swim nor fly, only a jointed landmass could have made them present in both continents.
- Similar rock lithologies at the edges of continents: rock formations at the Western edge of Africa and South - Eastern part of Brazil matches with one another and have been believed to be once joined together.
- Climatic clues such as glacial tills that are confined to temperate and polar regions have been found in tropical regions.
- Wegener fitted the present day continent into a giant supercontinent and this provided a visual support for his claim.
- Evidences from sea floor spreading revealing magnetic reversals at divergent margins suggests the prevalence of plate tectonics i.e moving plates on earth.
This among many other evidences underscores the existence of a supercontinent called Pangea.
