Answer: D

Explanation: The Ghana Empire, properly known as Wagadou (as Ghana was the title of its ruler), was a West African empire located in the area occupied by present-day southeastern Mauritania and western Mali. Although complex societies based on trans-Saharan trade in salt and gold had existed in the region for centuries, the introduction of the camel to the western Sahara in the 3rd century CE, opened the way to great changes in the area that eventually became the Ghana Empire.

The Ghana Empire grew rich from increased trans-Saharan trade in gold and salt, allowing for larger urban centres to develop. With these commodities being transported and traded through Ghana, the Kingdom was able to become very wealthy by taxing the goods that came through the trade center. It also helped that Ghana had many trade routes that were well protected by its large military force as this encouraged other merchants to come to Ghana for trade.

What can scientists learn from magnetic striping patterns? Select the three correct answers.

1. the cause of magnetic pole reversals

2. the year the next magnetic reversal will take place

3. the location of ancient faults caused by seismic activity

4. the exact location of the next earthquake along the California coast

5. the direction plates are moving relative to each other

6. the speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate

Answer:

The direction plates are moving relative to each other

The speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate

The location of ancient faults caused by seismic activity

Explanation:

Magnetic striping patterns are very valuable systems for understanding the factors that promote polar variability of the ocean floor. This is because these systems are formed exactly by changes in this polarity, presenting lines (similar to a zebra), which allow scientists to interpret them and have valuable information about the movement of the direction plates towards each other, the speed that a plate reaches the subduz below another plate and the location and old faults that were caused by the existence of seismic activities.

Which of the following societies has the most rigid hierarchy?
solong [7]

Answer: In Medieval Europe, knights pledged loyalty to vassals, who in turn pledged theirs to powerful lords, and serfs labored in the fields.

Explanation:

A rigid hierarchy refers to one where people who are born into a certain position in life, find it quite hard to move from it or rather one where there are different social classes and people had to be classified in one class for the system to work.

The system during medieval times was much like this. Social classes existed that determined a person's worth in society such as the knights, vassals, Lords and Royals. There was also the serfs who were considered the lowest in the hierarchy.
