Answer: They were given many acres of government-owned land for every mile created.

Congress passed the Pacific Railroad Act in 1862. This led to the creation of the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific. Because Congress was interested in building the railroad quickly, they provided two incentives to the companies.

First, they gave each line twenty alternate sections of land for each mile of track completed. Second, they gave them loans: $16,000 for each mile of track of flat prairie land, $32,000 per mile for hilly terrain, and $48,000 per mile in the mountains.

These two incentives meant that the railroads would compete in order to be able to build the most miles and get the most land and money.

The passage suggests that the presence of G10 garnet in a kimberlite pipe indicates that:________.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Correct Answer:

(C) the pipe passed through a diamond-stability field and thus may contain diamonds

Explanation:

The passage from which the question was gotten is attached below:

<u>Diamonds are almost impossible to detect directly</u>

<u></u>

Diamonds are almost impossible to detect directly because they  are so rare: very rich kimberlite  Line pipes, the routes through which  diamonds rise, may contain only  three carats of diamonds per ton  of kimberlite. Kimberlite begins as  magma in Earth's mantle (the layer  between the crust and the core).

As   the magma smashes through layers  of rock, it rips out debris, creating  a mix of liquid and solid material.  Some of the solid material it brings  up may come from a so-called  diamond-stability field, where conditions of pressure and temperature  are conducive to the formation of diamonds.

If diamonds are to survive, though, they must shoot toward  Earth's surface quickly. Otherwise,  they revert to graphite or burn.  Explorers seeking diamonds look  for specks of indicator minerals.
