Alex Ar [27]3 years ago

Monks Mound is the largest prehistoric structure in the Americas and the largest pyramid north of Mesoamerica. It covers 16 acres with 4 platforms with ceremonial structure at the top. This makes it approximately the same size at its base as the Great Pyramid of Giza (13.1 acres / 5.3 hectares). Its base circumference is bigger than the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan. As a platform mound, the earthwork supported a wooden structure on the summit. It’s believed to have been a temple or chief’s residence. Since Mississippian society revolved around the mound network, archaeologists believe that the central, and largest mound would have belonged to a societal leader.

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.

Explanation:

The Industrial Revolution was a process that was seen fondly by the majority of the people. This process meant huge development, much higher efficiency in the production, cheaper, quicker, and in higher quantities. In other words, the Industrial Revolution resulted in economic boom in the industrialized countries. The production of goods was taking place in factories, which were enormous and employed thousands of people in them. While this was all good for the development, some people were left without their jobs and were forced to work either in the newly created factories or in something else. These people were the artisans. The artisans were skillful people that had workshops and were producing lot of different goods for the other people, but with the industrialization they became non-competitive, as the machines in the factories managed to produce the same things, faster, in higher amounts, and cheaper.
