6 THINGS THAT MAKE LIFE ON EARTH POSSIBLE

Task Discuss how the lives of the peoples of the ancient world were shaped by the geography of

NISA [10]

Answer:

Large population centers, or urban areas (1), allow civilizations to develop, although people who live outside these urban centers are still part of that region’s civilization. Rural residents of civilizations may include farmers, fishers, and traders, who regularly sell their goods and services to urban residents.

The huge urban center of Teotihuacan, in modern-day Mexico, for example, had as many as 200,000 residents between 300 and 600 CE. The development of the Teotihuacano civilization was made possible in part by the rich agricultural land surrounding the city. As land was cultivated, fewer farmers could supply more food staples, such as corn and beans, to more people.

Trade also played a part in Teotihuacan’s urban development. Much of the wealth and power of Teotihuacan was due to excavating and trading the rich deposits of obsidian around the city. Obsidian is a hard volcanic rock that was highly valued as a cutting tool. Teotihuacano merchants traded (exported) obsidian to surrounding cultures in exchange for goods and services imported to Teotihuacano settlements.

Answer:

The universe is comprised of more than 75% of materials that are not visible and are often considered to be the dark matter. These are the baryonic matter that is formed due to the accumulation of protons, neutrons as well as electrons. They can be baryonic or non-baryonic type of matter. These dark matters are the substance that interconnects mostly by gravity along with some visible matter such as the stars and planets. These matters do not reflect light and they attract other matters, forming the major mass of the entire universe.
