Answer:

Dendrochronologists study tree rings to learn about past climates. Trees in temperate areas form one growth ring per year. Scientists can look at the rings and identify climate conditions during each year of the tree’s life. Scientists found long droughts in both the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. This is the same period when the Anasazi were leaving Chaco Canyon. Under normal conditions it was hard to support their villages in the harsh environment of northern New Mexico. When years of drought occurred, the densely populated Anasazi pueblos could no longer raise enough food. Other forces could have pushed the Anasazi away from Chaco as well.

How did foreign policy change from washington to monroe?

Anna11 [10]

The US foreign policy was based on the belief that the US should not get involved in other countries' business unless it directly affected the US. This was during the time of Washington.

In 1823, when Monroe became president of the US, the Monroe Doctrine was announced. This announcement had a huge change in the foreign policy of the US as it stated that the US was the only country that had the absolute right of colonizing any land in North, South or Central America.
This meant that the US opposed Europe and stopped them from taking over any land there.
