Explain how the social structure of society shifted during the renaissance period. any ideas?
Inessa [10]
ALRIGHT SO, during the renaissance society got all sorts of yikes. Shakespeare created the vernacular (basically breaking down the language so the average person could read & understand it) which he used in his writings & it also was used in the bibles so that the average person could read them & they kind of strayed away from the church and such. Also, John Calvin & Martin Luther created calvinism & lutheranism because they didn't agree with the catholic church's views & such, which caused a controversy & people started separating from the catholic church & started following Calvin & Luther (i hope this helped!!! it's 11:11pm so sorry if i couldn't explain too well)

What problems did the construction of the Aswan High Dam create for the people of Egypt and their environment?
makkiz [27]

The Aswan High Dam was built to regulate and control the annual flooding of the Nile River in order to protect crops and property from such uncontrolled flooding and to generate electricity. Most of its effects have been positive but several environmental effects are:

- Water-logging: because of the continuous high levels of water, the soil around the area is saturated with water, which prevents oxygenation of the soil that is essential to several plants and crops.

- Salinization of soils: caused by the inability of water-saturated soils to absorb salt, it is toxic to crops and damaging to infrastructures.

- Soil Erosion: it is a consequence of soil salinization as crops die and are unable to hold the soil in place.

There were also other negative effects such as:

- Archeology: two important archeological sites of Ancient Egypt were flooded and covered by the dam waters: the ancient cemetery of Fadrus and the Buhen fort.

- Loss of sediment: the annual flooding carried an enormous amount of sediment that is now trapped within the resulting Lake Nasser. Many of these sediments were used by local industries to manufacture bricks and they lost access to this renewable source of raw materials.

- More expensive and difficult purification of water: because the water does not move as much it is more transparent and allows the sunlight to penetrate deeper. This, combined with the trapped sediments has increased the growth of algae that have proliferated to the point that water purification is more and more expensive due to the necessary removal of this plant.

What is the goverment doing to protect the species that are going instinct
NARA [144]

Answer:

The government is doing their best to protect endangered species and one example of them is the Endangered Species Act. The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was enacted by Congress in 1973. Under the ESA, the federal government has the responsibility to protect endangered species (species that are likely to become extinct throughout all or a large portion of their range), threatened species (species that are likely to become endangered in the near future), and critical habitat (areas vital to the survival of endangered or threatened species).  Once a species becomes listed in ESA's database as "threatened" or "endangered," it receives special protections by the federal government. Animals are protected from “take” and being traded or sold.

Explanation:

The primary goal of the Endangered Species Act is to make species' populations healthy and vital, so they can be delisted from the Endangered Species Act. Under the Endangered Species Act, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service oversees the listing and protection of all terrestrial animals and plants as well as freshwater fish. NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service oversees marine fish and wildlife. The two organizations actively invest time and resources to help bring endangered or threatened species back from the brink of extinction.
