Answer: Carbon dating is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Relative dating is a method which was used earlier. In this technique an objects relation to the layer of deposits in the area was used to estimate the age of artifact.  This is still heavily used,  but now more accurate dating techniques are used. Radiocarbon dating  is one of them. In radiocarbon dating the age of an artifact is determined by measuring the carbon-14 content in the fossil. When an organism dies the amount of carbon-14 starts to decay as the organism decays. the amount of Carbon-14 left in the artifact can tell us about its age.

The Nile River's flooding could be described as and .
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Es un río enclavado en la parte este del continente africano cuya cuenca alberga Uganda, Etiopía, Tanzania, Ruanda, Burundi, Kenia, Sudán, Sudán del Sur, Eritrea, República Democrática del Congo y, por supuesto, Egipto. Está conformado por 2 sistemas fluviales: el Nilo Azul en Etiopía y el Nilo Blanco en Burundi. El primero tiene su inicio en el lago Tana y se une al Blanco en Sudán, a través de unos 1,400 kilómetros. Por su parte, la fuente del Nilo Blanco es un poco confusa; es posible que el río Ruvyronza, un afluente del río Kagera, sea su fuente más remota. Excepto durante agosto y septiembre, el Nilo Azul provee menos del 20 por ciento del agua del Nilo.

How did slavery support mercantilism in Great Britain?
Alborosie
Slavery was downright essential to mercantilism in eighteenth-century Great Britain. This was because mercantilism depended on the use of colonies to produce raw materials, particularly cash crops <span>, for the mother country. These cash crops, with sugar being by far the most important, represented a major source of revenue for Great Britain. </span>

Write a brief paragraph in you own words stating why the territory should be called new Spain
Gekata [30.6K]

Assuming that you are referring to the territories of today's Mexico, formerly know as <em>New Spain</em>, here is the paragraph:

As Hernan Cortes campaigned throughout the first continental lands of America, the idea that many Spaniards, probably even himself, harbored was that of founding Spain all over again in the newly found and conquered lands. A mix of nostalgia and pride for the Motherland, Spain, must have prompted the <em>Conquistadors</em> to name the cities and provinces they founded after cities and provinces already existing in Spain. One reason for using already familiar names had to do with the difficulty of pronouncing the original names of the places given by the native people, the other one had to do with a sense of control, since most people hold the belief that naming things bestows them with a degree of control over them. And yet another reason may have been the comfort of living in places named after their old home towns and provinces the Spaniards had come from.
