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.

3. Nomadic way of life reflects the adaptation of the tribal group. Give reasons.
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Yes, Nomadic way of life reflects the adaptation of the tribal group.

Explanation:

Nomadic life refers to a lifestyle where the person doesn't have a fixed habitat. They keep moving from place to place in search of food and shelter. Due to scarcity of food and shelter at one place, people used to keep moving from one place to other. This shows how adaptive these people were. They used to easily adapt themselves to the place they used to travel.

Nomads travel in groups or tribes. They have their own distinct form of living style.

tester [92]
The cycles within which earth's matter moves are closed systems. This means nothing is gained or lost from the system; it only changes from one form to the other. The total amount of matter on earth remains the same. Using tectonic plates as an example, divergent boundaries occur where new oceanic crust is being created. New crust is being created and simultaneously the same amount of crust is being destroyed at convergent margins.

How does agribusiness help people in the developing world? (2 points)
lubasha [3.4K]

The correct answer is - II and III.

The agribusiness has been helping a lot to the people in the developing countries around the world, mostly with better food supply and the support in the traditional agricultural practices.

The better food supply comes from the proper distribution of the food on the home markets, and it is also food that is produced in the country, not imported one, so everyone sees the benefit from it.

The support in the traditional agricultural practices is also very important, as the farmers are managing to get easy access to the things they need for farming, but also they have secured market for their products. The traditional agricultural practices are also supported as in those ways it is possible to produce organic food, for which there's an ever growing market.
