damaskus [11]3 years ago
8 0

Answer and explanation:

As we know, inside the bag of potato chips there is also air. Air is, of course, composed of several gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. When the atmospheric pressure is high, the volume of gas is reduced. Therefore, if the pressure is lowered, the volume increases. That is why the bag gets puffy. You've taken it from a place with higher atmospheric pressure to one where it is lower, so the gas will expand.

What are the major differences between ancient California and Mesopotamia?
Gnesinka [82]

First, Mesopotamia was blessed with especially rich soil. Diverse elevations  (there are both high hills and low‐lying marshlands) and climatic variations in the region allowed for the evolution of many types of edible seeds and plants, as well as a variety of farm animals. California did not have it as easy as Mesopotamia did — it had several geographical disadvantages to conquer before its advantages could really shine.

Second, while the great city of Babylon was thriving in Mesopotamia in 3100 B.C., California remained rather insignificant as a trade or cultural center. It was inhabited by nomadic tribes who lived a hunter‐gatherer lifestyle.

Lastly, there was a speedy input of goods and knowledge via the waterways built across Mesopotamia. This was a distinct advantage of the area over competing regions, and allowed their economic and cultural life to flourish.

Who were the first people to come to north America
lesantik [10]

Many thousands of years ago, not a single human being lived in the Americas.

This only changed during the last Ice Age. It was a time when most of North America was covered with a thick sheet of ice, which made the Americas difficult to inhabit.

But at some point during this time, adventurous humans started their journey into a new world.

They probably came on foot from Siberia across the Bering Land Bridge, which existed between Alaska and Eurasia from the end of the last Ice Age until about 10,000 years ago. The area is now submerged by water.

There is still debate about when these first Americans actually arrived and where they came from. But we are now getting closer to uncovering the original narrative, and finding out who these first Americans really were. During the peak of the last Ice Age about 20,000 years ago, a journey from Asia into the Americas would not have been particularly desirable. North America was covered in icy permafrost and tall glaciers. But, paradoxically, the presence of so much ice meant that the journey was, in a way, easier than it would be today.  

The abundance of ice meant that sea levels were much lower than they are now, and a stretch of land emerged between Siberia and Alaska. Humans and animals could simply walk from Asia to North America. The land bridge was called Beringia.
