Answer:

Because it was the loss of the ancient world's single greatest archive of knowledge.

Explanation:

Alexandria was founded in Egypt by Alexander the Great. His successor as Pharaoh, Ptolemy I Soter, founded the Museum (also called Museum of Alexandria, Greek Mouseion, “Seat of the Muses”) or Royal Library of Alexandria in 283 BC. The Museum was a shrine of the Muses modeled after the Lyceum of Aristotle in Athens. The Museum was a place of study which included lecture areas, gardens, a zoo, and shrines for each of the nine muses as well as the Library itself. It has been estimated that at one time the Library of Alexandria held over half a million documents from Assyria, Greece, Persia, Egypt, India and many other nations. Over 100 scholars lived at the Museum full time to perform research, write, lecture or translate and copy documents. The library was so large it actually had another branch or "daughter" library at the Temple of Serapis.

irakobra [83]

The same type of flower can be found all over the state of Wisconsin is not an evidence that supports the Theory of Continental Drift.

Option: D

Explanation:

Continental Drift theory was propounded by Alfred Wegner. The main theme of this theory was that before ages all the continents were together in the form of a single land mass surrounded by water mass. That landmass is known as Pangaea and water body is known as Panthalasa.

Tidal force and gravitational force are the two responsible powers which separated all the continents in their present position and their movements towards west and equator. There are ample numbers of evidences which show the validity of this theory.

Examples of how geography make an impact on life in the ancient river!
lbvjy [14]

<span>The harsh climate pushed the early Egyptian tribes toward the Nile River Valley, where the long, strong river kept the surrounding areas lush and green through regular flooding. This allowed the civilization to thrive even in the hot, dry desert. Egyptian culture and daily life revolved around the river because it brought the different seasons. The Nile also has a high place in Egyptian mythology and belief. In addition, the flow of the river determined how their trade routes were set up.The stones available in the land determined what kind of buildings the people were able to build, and the abundance of stones to mine led to the many monuments left behind thousands of years later. Without the solid stone available, such things as the pyramids would not have been possible. Egypt is historically known for the enslavement of Hebrews which aided in the expansion in the empire by providing free manual labor. The climate was harsh and the Nile broken up by dangerous rapids, keeping many invading forces out. This allowed the civilization to thrive for thousands of years with minimal examples of being taken over.</span>

how do th location and climate of the United kingdom and russia affect how each country conducts trade
AnnZ [28]
United Kingdom is surrounded with bodies of water; thus, it is easier for them to trade with people from different countries all over the world. Ships carrying various goods from different parts of the world would dock in UK ports and trade their goods for the goods found in UK. People living in UK has livelihoods that are depended on land (farming) and water (fishing).

Since UK is surrounded by bodies of water, it enjoys a milder climate compared with Russia.

Russia, on the otherhand, occupies some parts of Europe and Asia. But, Russians can not maximize the use of their land area since there are parts of Russia wherein there are permanently frozen land. Russia is also bordered by 15 countries with no access to waterways, making trading difficult but possible.

Most Russians live in the European part of the country because it has a better weather condition and trade among neighbouring countries can easily be done.
