"Little Boy" was the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, by the American bomber plane Boeing B29 Superfortress Enola Gay plane.
On August 6, 1945 American President Harry S. Truman ordered the bombing of Hiroshima, Japan to subdue Japan into surrender and a speedy end to the war. America remains the only country to have ever used an atomic bomb against an enemy. It resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians. Three days later Nagasaki, another city in Japan was atomic-bombed as well.
Answer:
The hunter-gather societies used the simplest form of technology to hunt and gather their food. Native Americans lived in hunter-gatherer communities composed of bands of people through kinship and marriage. The division of labor was equal between the men and women. Men would hunt for large animals and control the distribution of goods from the land, while the women would forage for fruits, nuts, tubular vegetables, and any other edible plant based food and hunt for small animals (Lenski, G., Nolan, P., & Lenski, J., 1995) and control the use of the land. Everything was shared with the whole tribe, so there was no power struggle
Answer:
The Mekong River, a critical waterway for six countries in Southeast Asia, is registering critically low water levels this summer.
The Mekong River Commission (MRC), which monitors Southeast Asia's longest river, reported in mid-July that water levels over the previous month had fallen to "among the lowest on record."
The Mekong springs up from the Tibetan Plateau in China and flows to the South China Sea through Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Around 60 million people depend on the river for fishing, farming and transportation.
However, unseasonably low rainfall, along with maintenance work at the Jinghong hydropower station in China, and tests on the Xayaburi dam in Laos, have been identified as causing a massive decline in water levels.
And although rains have recently increased, easing drought conditions and gradually raising water levels, the crisis is far from over.
In June 2019, the average rainfall level in Thailand's Chiang Saen province, for example, was only around two-thirds of the total monthly rainfall for June from 2006 to 2018. Reports have shown that the acute shortage of rainfall is due to El Nino — a meteorological phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean that affects the climate all over the Pacific basin.
