Answer;

A. Water supplied power and a means of transportation.

Explanation;

The Industrial Revolution began in the 18th century, when agricultural societies became more industrialized and urban.  Industrialization marked a shift to powered, special-purpose machinery, factories and mass production.

A number of factors contributed to Britain's role as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. For one, it had great deposits of coal and iron ore, which proved essential for industrialization.

The Industrial Revolution relied on water for power and transport until the coming of the steam engine and the railways.

Disequilibrium occurs when
ohaa [14]
Disequilibrium occurs when supply and demand are out of balance. However, this sometimes never happens to markets or it happens only rarely and momentarily. On the other hand, economists sometimes state that markets are always disequilibrium and that this is just how the market goes, as markets are excess in disequilibrium over extended periods of time.

What three tribes were descendants of the Anasazi and the where did they live?<br>​
vladimir2022 [97]

Main Answer:The airy settlement that we explored had been built by the Anasazi, a civilization that arose as early as 1500 B.C. Their descendants are today's Pueblo Indians, such as the Hopi and the Zuni, who live in 20 communities along the Rio Grande, in New Mexico, and in northern Arizona.

Side Answers:

Which tribes of today are the descendants of the Anasazi?

The descendants of the Anasazi are still around today, though. The Pueblo and the Hopi are two Indian tribes that are thought to be descendants of the Anasazi. The term Pueblo refers to a group of Native Americans who descended from cliff-dwelling people long ago.

Who were the Anasazi and where did they live?

The Anasazi lived in the four-corners region of North America. They had three major centralized populations in three different places: Chaco Canyon (New Mexico), Mesa Verde (Colorado), and Kayenta (Arizona). They were in this region from c. 490 AD to the 1300s AD.

Where was the Anasazi tribe located?

The heart of the Anasazi region lay across the southern Colorado Plateau and the upper Rio Grande drainage. It spanned northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, southeastern Utah and southwestern Colorado—a land of forested mountain ranges, stream-dissected mesas, arid grasslands and occasional river bottoms.

How did bonnie and clyde achieve the American dream?
tester [92]

Answer:

Their legend has to be seen in the context of the time.

Explanation:

They were seen by many who were suffering because of the Great Depression and The Dust Bowl as almost a couple of Robin Hood characters.

They liked to make a point of letting local people such as farmers keep their money when robbing banks, and the robbing of banks were seen by many in the areas they were operating, as a blow by ordinary people against the financial institutions which were crippling them.

To what extent this was achieving the American Dream is open to question. They were killers who did not hesitate in killing anyone who threatened their arrest. This is undisputedly the case with Clyde Barrow. There are conflicting arguments as to how much direct involvement Bonnie Parker had in their killing spree.

Certainly the myth of The American dream was reflected in the thousands who turned up at both funerals.
