The correct answer is:

An understanding of the number and size of leftover planetesimals in the early solar system.

The giant-impact hypothesis proposes that the Moon was created out of what was left of a collision between Earth and an astronomical body the size of Mars, around 4.5 billion years ago, in the Hadean eon. The heavy bombardment was a period when leftover planetesimals hit planets during the solar system's first hundred million years.

What are two methods china used to expand their empire after the fall of thenming empire? ​
Serga [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

   1368: The Ming Dynasty began with a rebellion, which defeated the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368).

   1402–1424: Emperor Yongle ushered in a period of prosperity, including trade with Europeans. This continued until the late 1500s, when it was forbidden due to armed smugglers and Japanese pirates.

   1420: The Ming capital was moved to Beijing after the Forbidden City was completed. Before that, the capital was Nanjing.

   Traditional culture flourished during the Ming Dynasty. Three of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese Literature were written.

   The Great Wall was more crucial than ever in protecting China from northern invasion during the Ming era.

   1644: The dynasty ended when peasant rebellion from the south led to the Great Wall gates being opened to the Manchurians, who initiated the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912).

The correct answers are options: A, C and F.

The reasons why the Congress wanted a written Declaration of Independence were:

A) The colonies wanted help and support from other nations in Europe, to reassure their strength and authority.

C) The soldiers needed a good reason for fighting and dying.

F) They hoped that more colonists would join the revolution to be finally free and independent from England.

However, even though they wanted it written quickly, It took almost a month for the Congress to vote for independence from the first motion.

xxMikexx [17]

Although the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) had strong popular support when it passed both the House and the Senate in 1972, it failed to become a constitutional amendment because the feminist movement had made so many gains in eliminating gender discrimination.

<h3></h3><h3>Failure of Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)</h3>
  • The feminist movement had achieved so much in the fight against sexism in areas like employment and education that it did not necessarily seem necessary for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to pass both the House and the Senate in 1972, despite the fact that it had strong public support at the time. As a result, the ERA did not become a constitutional amendment.
  • The Equal Rights Amendment ultimately failed to be ratified by the required 38, or three-fourths, of the states by the deadline set by Congress because of a conservative backlash against feminism.
  • Because a state's legislature must pass it through both houses in the same session in order for it to be considered ratified, it failed in those states.

What did Adams hope to accomplish by sending diplomats to france?
Bess [88]
A commission was sent to France in 1797 to discuss the disputes that had arisen out of the U.S.'s refusal to honor the Franco-American Treaty of 1778. President Adams had also criticized the French Revolution, so France began to break off relations with the United States. Adams sent delegates to France to meet with French Foreign Minister Talleyrand in the hopes of working things out. Talleyrand's three agents told the American delegates that they could meet with Talleyrand only in exchange for a very large bribe. The Americans did not pay the bribe, and in 1798 Adams made the incident public, substituting the letters "X, Y and Z" for the names of the three French agents in his report to Congress.
