History
1 answer:
Tju [1.3M]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

The Mining Boom: 1879 – 1893 In 1879 the first prospectors arrived in what would soon become Aspen and determined the area contained large deposits of silver ore. For the next 14 years Aspen’s fortunes rose as it eventually produced 1/6th of the nation’s and 1/16th of the world’s silver. A town often becomes a ghost town because the economic activity that supported it has failed, or due to natural or human-caused disasters such as floods, prolonged droughts, government actions, uncontrolled lawlessness, war, pollution, or nuclear disasters. Boomtowns are typically extremely dependent on the single activity or resource that is causing the boom (e.g., one or more nearby mines, mills, or resorts), and when the resources are depleted or the resource economy undergoes a "bust" (e.g., catastrophic resource price collapse), boomtowns can often decrease in size as fast as they initially grew

Hey there! I’m happy to help!

Let’s see what each of these eras are.

The Old Kingdom of Egypt is basically the time period when the pyramids were built.

The Middle Kingdom is known for a lot of Egyptian art and literature being created.

The reign of Hyksos was a period after the middle period when the Hyksos had invaded Egypt where the Egyptians didn’t really do much.

The New Kingdom was basically when Egypt became super imperialistic and started taking everything over.

If you look at all of these, it makes the most sense that The Sphinx was built during the Old Kingdom because it was actually built for one of the pyramid builders!

I hope this helps!

Which of the following resulted MOST DIRECTLY from Louis Pasteur's work with bacteria?
dlinn [17]
Well, Louis Pasteur was a scientist who discovered a process called "pasteurization." What this process is is heating food or whatever liquids to kill the bacteria which might be in it. This process became widely used for milk, as well as for vaccines. It improved food safety for the public and provided for a way that people can get vaccinated so that their immune systems are resistant to disease. So from my knowledge, I would say "<span>better standards for public health" is your answer.

Dimas [21]
The major physical feature that you would have to cross in order to reach this destination would be the Appalachian Mountains, since these were so large that they discouraged travel to this region for quite some time. <span />
