Hello there!

Back in the days of the early Egyptians, they did not know about "north" or "south." Due to this, they did not think to orient their kingdom in the way we do now. They took the Nile River, which flows from south to north as their reference. Therefore, the southern part was known as "Upper Egypt" while the northern region was called "Lower Egypt."

I hope this helps!

A transform boundary occurs where plates slide against each other. <br> a. True<br> b. False
STatiana [176]

The correct answer is - True.

The transform boundaries of the tectonic plates are boundaries where two tectonic plates are sliding against each other. As they do that, they do create geological activity around the boundary, and earthquakes are a common occurrence. Another trademark of these boundaries are the faults, that stretch for several km in a linear manner, usually parallel to the boundary itself. Most of these faults are located in the ocean basins and they are connecting the offsets of the mid-ocean ridges, but they can also be found on land, like it is the case in California.

Answer:

Hierarchical diffusion is one of six ways cultures can spread around the world (what we call ‘types of cultural diffusion’). What makes hierarchical diffusion unique is that it involves the spread of culture starting from the most powerful and influential people within the culture.

Once the influential people embrace a certain culture, the rest of the culture are more likely to follow.
