History
1 answer:
dem82 [27]3 years ago
8 0
Commercial company (1600 - 1858) chartered by Queen Elizabeth I and given a monopoly of trade between England and the Far East. In the 18th century, the company became, in effect, the ruler of a large part of India, and a form of dual control by the company and a committee responsible to Parliament in London was introduced by Pitt's India Act 1784. The end of the monopoly of China trade came in 1834, and after the Indian Mutiny of 1857 - 58 the crown took complete control of the government of British India. The India Act 1858 abolished the company. 

<span>The East India Company set up factories in Masulipatam, near modern Madras (now Chennai), in 1611 ; on the west coast of India in Surat in 1612 ; on the east coast in Madras in 1639 ; and near Calcutta (now Kolkata) on the Hooghly (one of the mouths of the Ganges) in 1640. By 1652 there were some 23 English factories in India. Bombay (now Mumbai) came to the British crown in 1662, and was granted to the East India Company for £ 10 a year. The British victory in the Battle of Plassey in 1757 gave the company control of Bengal.</span>

What is the contour interval ??
professor190 [17]

Answer:

The contour interval is 15 meters.

Explanation:

A is not correct because if that was the case we would have had much more contour lines, and if the starting point is 15 meters then 5 contour intervals up would have been an elevation of 40 meters, not 90.

B is not correct because is that was the case we wouldn't have had a contour line of 15 meters, as all contour lines would have been tens, like 10, 20, 30, etc.

C is correct because the elevation distance between the contour line of 15 meters and one of 90 meters is 75 meters, and if we divided that by five (the number of contour lines from one to another marking) we get a value of 15 meters.

D is not correct because just as with the interval of 10, there wouldn't have been a contour line 15, but they would have been 20, 40, 60, etc.

How did Europeans continue their explorations beyond the Americas?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

The 1490's was a time of sailing, exploration, war, and trade. They competed for land, explored and invaded foreign lands, led conquests, and were victorious. This time was also full of powerful leaders, such as Hernando Cortés who led the expedition to mexico and Montezuma, who was the ruler of the Aztec Empire. The history of North America is very unique, it's a wide combination of European cultures and new American characteristics. North American's history began with the Vikings brief stint in 1000 A.D and continued through England's colonization  of the Atlantic in the 17th century. This history laid the foundation of the United States of America. As more Europeans arrived, the Americas moved westward across the continent. During the expeditions, Americans were enticed by the lure of riches and opened land, and the desire to fulfill the nation's destiny.

hope this helps!
