High mountains and access to water (the sea, not rivers) meant that
navies were critical for war and trade.
This also meant that the different city states of Ancient Greece were
physically separated from each other.
This allowed each culture to have similarities (like language and

systems. This also led to a particular
type of farming and a limited ability to fight in open plains. Hence the Hoplite system with phalanxes

Florida was the state that was the center of an election controversy in the 2000 election that culminated in the Bush versus Gore Supreme Court case. Hope it helped, God bless.
The weather affected the building of the Panama Canal quite negatively because the hot, humid weather made the work exhausting. The workers had to take long pauses until it was suitable for them to work again, because it was scorching hot in Panama so that no work could be done. This greatly slowed the process of building the Panama Canal because the workers didn't have the required conditions under which to work properly.
The correct answer is D. water parks.
Water parks started their construction during the late 1940s, so obviously people couldn't enjoy them prior to that moment. Coney island began building in 1840s, Barnum and Bailey circus was there since 1870s, and Nickelodeons (referring to cinemas) were there since late 1800s.
