Answer:

Megaliths were large stones thought to be used to observe the sky by ancient astronomers.

Explanation:

We can easily eliminate the first two options. They are indeed instruments used to observe astronomical movements, bodies, etc. However, they are simply not stones, so they are not related to the question.

We are left with megaliths and gastroliths, both words ending with the suffix -lith, which means they are both related to stones. "Gastro" refers to something related to the stomach, which is precisely the case here. A gastrolith is a stone found within the stomach of some animals. Finally, we are left with megaliths, large stones used to build monuments in ancient times which were likely used as very rudimentary astronomical observatories.

What caused virtually all of Canada and some of the northern US to be once covered by thick glacial ice almost 15,000 years ago?
geniusboy [140]
Changes in the earth's climate caused ice sheets to grow and cover most of Canada and some of the northern US almost 15 000 years ago. This is known as the last Ice Age. For the last two million years, the earth has shifted between ice ages and warmer periods. Ice ages are caused by slight changes in the way the earth orbits around the sun. Huge continental glaciers or sheets of ice moved down from the Artic and covered Canada, North America and much of Europe.
