Answer:

  • A designed, mechanical system -- like a constantly functioning clock.

Explanation:

Newton explained the universe and its functioning in his landmark work, <em>Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy </em>(1687).  He pulled together the work of other key figures of the Scientific Revolution.  His organized theory of universal gravitation gave the impression of the universe as a mathematical system that functioned like clockwork.  Newton and others of the Scientific Revolution saw God behind the design of this system, as the   "great watchmaker" who designed the universe as a perpetual watch or clock that could run on perpetually in predictable fashion.

The correct answer is C. They provided a fresh water supply and rich soil for growing food.

Explanation:

Early human civilizations relied on agriculture and animal domestication because only through these activities humans could settle in one place and create villages, cities, etc. as they obtained food in one place. Additionally, these activities could be better developed near rivers not only because humans could have a constant supply of fresh water for themselves (essential for survival), their crops, and animals, but also because the land near rivers is usually fertile and ideal for agriculture. According to this, the reason why first cultures developed near rivers is due to the water supply and rich soil these provided.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

1. Invasions by Barbarian tribes. The most straightforward theory for Western Rome's collapse pins the fall on a string of military losses sustained against outside forces. Rome had tangled with Germanic tribes for centuries, but by the 300s “barbarian” groups like the Goths had encroached beyond the Empire's borders.

Explanation:

Maintaining an army to defend the border of the Empire from barbarian attacks was a constant drain on the government. Military spending left few resources for other vital activities, such as providing public housing and maintaining quality roads and aqueducts. Frustrated Romans lost their desire to defend the Empire.
