faust18 [17]4 years ago

There are a couple of answers to this:

A: A lot of people back then were heavily Catholic, the Catholic church claimed that the Earth was flat, while others believed the Earth was round.

B: Back then, obviously they didn't have airplanes or satellites, thus people believed the Earth was flat. The reasoning of this is because, if you were to look outside right now, the Earth does look like it could be flat. (that is because you have to be at a certain level of elevation to see the curvature of the Earth). Eventually though, people started reasoning and came to the conclusion the Earth was round. (They were proven right when aerospace technology came around.)

What made the land between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers and the
Radda [10]

Answer:

The land was so fertile because of the big amounts of silt that the rivers brought to their shores.

Explanation:

The river valleys of Tigris and Euphrates in the Middle East, and the Nile in Northern Africa, were the places were the two earliest civilizations arose. These two civilizations were Sumer and ancient Egypt. The main reasons why these two civilizations developed were exactly the aforementioned rivers and their valleys.

Tigris and Euphrates on one side, and the Nile on another side, were bringing in enormous amounts of silt to their shores each year. The silt was making the river valleys highly fertile, which in turn meant that the people can engage in large scale agricultural production. Because the people had good conditions for the big production of agricultural goods their food supplies were guaranteed, so they were able to specialize in other fields and gradually develop into real civilizations.

What would a person drilling a well most likely reach immediately after drilling through the unsaturated zone? a spring an aquif
UkoKoshka [18]

The unsaturated zone is the area of the subsurface that is above the groundwater table. The pores of the soil and rock in this zone contain both air and water.

<h3>What is the water table?</h3>

The water table is the subsurface border between the unsaturated and saturated zones.

The water table is an underground border that separates the soil surface from the area where groundwater saturates crevices between sediments and rock fissures.

At this point, the pressures of water and air are equal.

The unsaturated zone is the soil surface above the water table, where both oxygen and water fill the crevices between particles.

Therefore Option C is correct as it is where a person will immediately reach after drilling a well through an unsaturated zone.

kogti [31]

A.  at the same time that Earth formed

Explanation:

Geologists think the earth's continents began to form about the same time the earth was formed.

Most of the rocks on the continental crust are about the oldest that been used to date the age of our planet.

  • Oceanic plates are relatively very young as they are formed at spreading centers and destroyed at convergent margins.
  • Continental masses have very high absolute ages.
  • The oldest rock on earth such as the Kabala Gneiss have been dated to be about 3 billion years.
  • Other rocks have yielded ages close to the formation of the earth.
  • We can conclude that the continents began to form immediately after the earth was formed.
