What prompt eastern Germany to build the Berlin wall?
Nookie1986 [14]
Hey There!
The Berlin Wall was built by East German troops and engineers on August 13, 1961. The wall was built to keep west Germans out, but it was built to keep eastern Germans in. Many eastern Germans were fleeing to the west because they felt that Western Germany better represented their ideals, political ideas, and culture. Hopefully this helped!


Cheers,

Based on the model above, the location will experience rain shower.

The solid circle above the inverted triangle means rain and the inverted triangle means shower. The bigger circle in the middle indicates cloud cover and in the case presented, the location will experience 50% cloud cover.

kramer

Answer:

The K-T extinction event is the global mass extinction that has taken place about some 65 million years back due to the asteroidal impact. This mass extinction event has wiped almost 75% of the plants and animal species from the earth's surface. The dinosaurs were extinct and very animal species have survived and undergone evolution in due course of time.|

The Cenozoic era started after the K-T mass extinction event, i.e from about 65 million years to the present.

Thus, the Cenozoic era is also known as the age of mammals because mammal were more abundant and diverse then. Many flowering plants evolved during this time and the earth experienced global cooling.
