Hatshy [7]3 years ago

History of Boston is described below.

Explanation:

  • When workers cut down Copp's hill the only thing they left untouched was the old three-acre burying ground. The city built a retaining wall around the graveyard to prevent it from eroding. In 1814, the Boston and Roxbury Mill Corporation built the Boston & Roxbury Mill Dam across the back bay
  • Originally called Tremontaine for the three hills in the area, the Puritans later changed the settlement's name to Boston, after the town in Lincolnshire, England, from which many Puritans originated.
  • South Boston, which was front and center in the battle, is no longer that close-knit old school “tough-as-nail” Irish Catholic enclave. “Southie,” as it is still fondly referred to, houses the world today flaunting some of the best restaurants and expensive housing in the city
  • Boston was founded in 1630 by English Puritans fleeing religious persecution. On 29 March 1630 a fleet of 11 ships carrying 700 people sailed from England to Massachusetts. They were led by John Winthrop (1588-1649). At first the people settled at Charlestown, which had been founded the year before.
  • Much of Boston's coastline is man-made land. The original shoreline, from 1630, is visible in dark green on this map. Land made between 1630 and 1995 is light green.Boston is a safe city, but as with any major city, you should take the usual safety precautions. Stay in well-populated areas, travel with others, especially at night, and keep track of your belongings. The tourist areas in Boston are generally safe, but some areas deserve mention.

How does a population reach carrying capacity?Give examples.
Mashcka [7]

Answer: By either emigration or natural increase.

Explanation: Natural increase is where in a population, the birth rate, or number of live births per year, is greater than the death rate, or deaths per year. Emigration is when individuals leave their region to move to another, often due to economic or political reasons. Eventually, a population will reach its carrying capacity, where the land the population occupies is only just able to support the population. Once the carrying capacity is breached, the population will start to collapse.

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The cell is in a hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

The solution is hypertonic because the amount of solute(s) is higher outside of the cell than it is inside the cell, so the solvent (e.g. water) would move from the cell to the solution in order to obtain equilibrium between the two.
