Answer:

Because it was affordable to a large number of prospectors.

Explanation:

Placer mining was the most widely used method for mining for gold because it was affordable to a large number of prospectors. Placer mining is a method that uses water to excavate, transport and recover heavy minerals from deposits. It was widely used to find gold during the Gold Rush. The method takes advantage of the fact that gold has a higher density than the lighter siliceous materials with which it is found. This causes gold to sink more rapidly than the other materials.

Describe the process of Western Europe transforming from a unified Roman Empire in 330 to independent nation-states in 1500.
Nikitich [7]

The process that saw Western Europe going from a unified Roman Empire to independent nation-states was:

  • Roman empire weakens and barbarians take hold of Roman lands.
  • Barbarians establish numerous Kingdoms and nation-states.
  • Monarchs share power with nobles in the feudalistic system.
  • Black death weakens the power of nobles and increases that of monarchs.
  • Monarchs consolidate power and establish true nation-states.

<h3>How did Europe's nation-states form?</h3>

After the Roman empire broke up as a result of several factors including the incursions of barbarians, several kingdoms were formed.

These kingdoms expanded and contracted under the reign of kings who shared power with nobles. Eventually, the monarchs gained the upper hand and established independent nation-states.
