Answer:

The two pyramids are quite similar from the age of 25 and higher, as might be expected. The biggest change is the rapid drop-off of people under the age of 10. Children aged 0-4 went from almost 16% of the total population in 1970 to less than 10% in 1980. This data clearly indicates that the one-child policy caused a dramatic change in birthrates between 1970 and 1980.

China's population was very young because it had very high birthrates.

Explanation:

Until the 1970's, China had one of the highest birthrates in the world. The country already had huge population and it was the most populated in the world by far, but its population was still rapidly on the rise.

From this population pyramid we can see several things. The birthrates were very high, contributing to high levels of young population. The middle aged people were twice less in number than the young ones. The average lifespan was below average, contributing to small percentage of old population.

While this contributed greatly to the economic rise of China, as it had enormous labor force, the laws that were implemented in this period now have a counter effect. Namely, the government prohibited the people to have more than one child, except with special permission, which now has made a problem as the country is facing the opposite problem, and aging population.

What was the result of Pike’s expedition? a. Pike wrote a book recounting from memory his expeditionary exploits.b. Pike publish
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is a.

Explanation:

The Pike Expedition (1806-1817) was a military expedition sent by the United States government to explore the recently acquired territory of Louisiana.

In 1803, French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte sold the territory of Louisiana to the United States. This territory was largely unexplored and populated mostly by indigenous tribes. Then president Thomas Jefferson authorized an expedition in 1806 to explore the south and west of the territory, close to the northern border of what was then New Spain (later Mexico). Lt. Zebulon Pike departed with 70 other men on his way to explore the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains. However, he drifted south, and ended in Spanish territory, where he was captured. He was released shortly after and returned to the United States.

<u>In 1810, Pike wrote a book recounting from his memory his expeditionary exploits.</u> The book was immensely popular - it was later translated into French, German and Dutch.
