1 answer:

8 0

As a child he worked at odd jobs and sang in a boys’ quartet. In 1913 he was sent to the Colored Waifs Home as a juvenile delinquent. There he learned to play cornet in the home’s band, and playing music quickly became a passion; in his teens he learned music by listening to the pioneer jazz artists of the day, including the leading New Orleans cornetist, King Oliver. Armstrong developed rapidly: he played in marching and jazz bands, becoming skillful enough to replace Oliver in the important Kid Ory band about 1918, and in the early 1920s he played in Mississippi riverboat dance bands.

Natali [406]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Most Inca cities were located along the main roads.

Explanation:

The Inca Empire Road System was the extensive and advanced road network of the Inca Empire that collapsed in the 16th century in western South America, between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Coast. There were a total of 40,000 kilometers of roads in the network.

The Incas built it centuries before the Spanish conquest. The network was partly based on pre-Inca roads. The network grew to its fullest size in the 15th century after the Inca Empire had reached its largest size.

The road network connected the villages and towns of the vast Inca Empire, which therefore were located along the main roads. There were a total of 40,000 kilometers of roads on the Inca Empire Road System. It had two north-south main roads: the coastal highway and the mountain highway. There were inns every 20 kilometers; some of them were fortifications with military supplies.

In what type of rock is the ratio of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes best measured?

Nana76 [90]

Answer: Igneous Rock

Explanation: Radiometric dating is used to date rocks by measuring the decay of their composite materials. Stable isotopes remain the same over time while the nucleus of an unstable or radioactive isotope will decay to form other isotopes .

Dating rocks using Isotopic methods uses the decay time of the isotope in the rock to assess its age. The accuracy of this method is assured by the fact that when these isotopes decay, they are retained in the rock. Isotopic dating is not very accurate in sedimentary rocks because they contain particles from older rocks.
