History

The correct answer is: "railroads".

Railroads flourished during the 19th century and enabled to travel long in-land distances much quicker than before. They were also one of the main factors that triggered the industrial revolution, as quick transportation reduced production costs and brought important efficiency gains for industries, for instance, in coal mining, and contributed to the development of mass production systems.

timama [110]

Answer:

Thesis: Whether it is religion or ideology, it has always played an influential role in the making of empires.

Explanation:

The reconquest of Muslim Spain by the Catholics started around the turn of the new milennium. This was a joint effort by Spanish kingdoms (state) and the catholic church.  Once succeded the Spanish, united by religion, drove the Jews out, as other European counties had done before them.

The Muslim resurgence between the 14th and the 16 century can likewise be seen as religion coinciding with state expansion. The Ottoman Empire in East Europe and Minor Asia is one example but also the Mughal Empire in India and Persia were important in spreading the Muslim faith all the way to China and Indonesia. So for a short time these three Muslim empires controlled a territory from Morocco in the West to the borders of China in the East. Not for long because the clash between Sunnite Turkey and Shi'ite Persia drove a wedge into the Muslim world.

It is safe to say that Muslim (land) hegemony ended when military hegemony was passing to the sea and to the peoples who knew how to master and exploit it.

How did terraced farming help farmers produce food? Choose two answers.
ycow [4]

Answer:

The steps prevented soil from washing away and made it easier to irrigate crops.

The steps increased the amount of land that farmers could grow crops on.

Explanation:

Terrace farming primary benefit is to reduce the speed  of run off water which leads  usually lead  to erosion therefore conserving land and water.

It is method of farming carried out in mountainous region,where the sloppy nature of the mountain  and the effects of acceleration due to gravity(g),increases the velocity of rain water washing the top soil on the mountain,removing the top soil and therefore washing away the nutrients as wastes.

To reduce the rate of velocity,terraces are built on the slope of the mountain,therefore protecting the topmost soil layer from been washed away by erosion,thus the soil fertility is conserved, and crops could be grown  on the terrace. Therefore by  allowing the  use of sloppy land area of the mountain for farming ,terrace farming    increases the land that the farmers could used for crops propagation.This would have been impossible without the creation of the terraces.

In addition, since the grassed water ways are not needed  for water supply there is maximum land area available  for farming.
