Scientist: Cross-sections of stalactites - calcite formations deposited on cave ceilings by seeping water - can reveal annual va

riations in rainfall in particular areas over hundreds and thousands of years. We often found that when - according to these cross-sections - drought occurred in a particular area, it coincided with the collapse of an ancient society in that area. I hypothesize that drought reduced agricultural productivity in these areas, thereby leaving these societies without the resources needed to handle internal stresses and external threats.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the support for the scientist's hypothesis?
(a) Many droughts indicated in the cross-sections of stalactites do not correspond with the collapse of a society in that area.
(b) Information from the cross-sections of stalactites alone cannot reveal the level of agricultural output in an area at a particular time.
(c) Most of the societies that collapsed during droughts did so when internal power struggles coincided with military raids from neighboring societies.
(d) Most of the societies that collapsed during droughts maintained large stockpiles of food and water at the time of their collapse.
(e) Information from stalactites also suggests that the collapse of some societies coincided with periods of abnormally high rainfall.

In the northern hemisphere, the sun is lowest in the sky with less radiation in the
schepotkina [342]

The Sun is lowest in the sky with less radiation in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter solstice.

Explanation:

The Earth is not static, but instead it is involved in several different motions. One of those motions is the Earth's tilt. Basically, the Earth is tilted with one of its hemispheres (northern or southern) toward the Sun in half of the year, and then in the other half of the year it is tilted with the other hemisphere toward the Sun.

When one of the hemispheres, lets say the Northern Hemisphere, is tilted away from the sky, and that reaches the maximum, it receives the least solar radiation, and the Sun is the lowest on the sky. That occurs on 21 or 22 December, and it is known as the winter solstice. This date represents the start of the winter for the Northern Hemisphere, thus its coldest period of the year.

The four stages on Earth caused by the tilting are:

  • spring equinox
  • summer solstice
  • autumn equinox
  • winter solstice

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

period of time before the credit card company starts charging interest

Explanation:

The grace period is the period of time before the credit card company starts charging interest.

Let's say the  billing cycle on your credit card goes from the 17th of May to the 17 of June.  Starting May 18, you enter a new cycle... and you can charge any amount of purchases (respecting your limit of course) and not pay a single cent in interest if you pay your bill in full and on time on the 17 of June.  That's the smart way to use a credit card... to extent the period you have to pay your purchases.
