<h2>Answer</h2>

<h3>This paper traces the history of human-environment interactions in the Pacific Islands during the last millennium, focusing on three main periods: the Little Climatic Optimum, the Little Ice Age, and, in greatest detail, the transition around A.D. 1300 between the two. The Little Climatic Optimum (approximately A.D. 750–1300) was marked by warm, rising temperatures, rising sea level and probably increasing aridity. The latter condition was linked to development of water-conservatory strategies (agricultural terracing being the most common) requiring cooperation between human groups which facilitated formation of large nucleated settlements and increased sociopolitical complexity. The transition period (approximately A.D. 1270–1475) involved rapid temperature and sea-level fall, perhaps a short-lived precipitation increase. Temperature fall stressed crops and reef organisms, sea-level fall lowered water tables and exposed reef surfaces reducing their potential as food resources for coastal dwellers. Increased precipitation washed away exposed infrastructure. Consequently food resource bases on many islands diminished abruptly across the transition. The Little Ice Age (approximately A.D. 1300–1800) was marked by cooler temperatures and lower sea levels. The lingering effects of the earlier transition largely determined human lifestyles during this period. Conflict resulted from resource depletion. Unprotected coastal settlements were abandoned in favour of fortified inland, often upland, settlements. Climate change is suggested to have been a important determinant of human cultural change during the last millennium in the Pacific Islands.</h3>

Answer:

The three patterns of human movement in the Pacific Islands today are people are in search of jobs, education, and a better living standard.

Explanation:

People who live in the Pacific Islands that need a job, education, or want a better living standard move to other islands that can give them these things.

Which natural region of Texas uses greatly it's underground water table
natita [175]
Ogallala 
The Ogallala aquifer reaches out through 48 provinces of the Texas Panhandle and is the southernmost expansion of the biggest aquifer (High Plains aquifer) in North America. The Ogallala Formation generally Miocene to early Pliocene age comprises of heterogeneous sequen-ces of coarse-grained sand and rock in the lower part, evaluating upward into dirt, sediment, and fine sand. In Texas, the Panhandle is the most broad district inundated with groundwater. In 2008, very nearly 96 percent of the water pumped from the Ogallala was utilized for water system. 
Inlet Coast Aquifer 
The Gulf Coast aquifer frames an unpredictably formed belt that parallels the Texas coastline and reaches out through 54 districts from the Rio Grande northeastward to the Louisiana outskirt. The aquifer framework is made out of the Catahoula, Oakville, Fleming, Goliad, Willis, Lissie, Bentley, Montgomery, and Beaumont arrangements. 
This framework has been isolated into three noteworthy water-delivering segments alluded to as the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers. In 2008, civil utilizations represented 62 percent and water system represented 25 percent of the aggregate pumpage from the aquifer. 
Edwards (Balcones Fault Zone) 
The Edwards (BFZ) aquifer frames a tight belt stretching out through 13 regions from a groundwater partition in Kinney County through the San Antonio zone northeastward to the Leon River in Bell County. An inadequately characterized groundwater isolate in Hays County hydrologically isolates the aquifer into the San Antonio and Austin districts. Water in the aquifer happens in cracks, honeycomb zones (or intergranular pores), and arrangement diverts in the Edwards and related limestone developments of Cretaceous age. 
Carrizo-Wilcox 
Stretching out from the Rio Grande in South Texas northeastward into Arkansas and Louisiana, the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer gives water to all or parts of 66 provinces. The Wilcox Group and overlying Carrizo Sand frame a hydrologically associated arrangement of sand locally interbedded with earth, residue, lignite, and rock. 
Trinity 
The Trinity Aquifer comprises of basal Cretaceous-age Trinity Group arrangements stretching out through 61 regions from the Red River in North Texas to the Hill Country of Central Texas. The aquifer is involved the Twin Mountains, Glen Rose, Paluxy, Hosston, and Hensell developments. Where the Glen Rose diminishes or is truant, the Twin Mountains and Paluxy developments combine to shape the Antlers Formation. In the south, the Trinity incorporates the Glen Rose and hidden Travis Peak developments. Water from the Antlers divide is utilized fundamentally for water system in the outcrop range of North and Central Texas. 
Edwards-Trinity Plateau 
This aquifer underlies the Edwards Plateau, reaching out through 40 regions from the Hill Country of Central Texas westbound to the Trans-Pecos area. It comprises of sandstone and limestone arrangements of the Trinity developments, and limestones and dolomites of the Edwards and related limestone developments. Groundwater development is for the most part toward the southeast. 
Seymour 
This aquifer comprises of separated territories of alluvium found in parts of 25 north-focal and Panhandle districts in the upper Red River and Brazos River bowls. Eastbound streaming streams amid the Quaternary Period kept irregular beds of inadequately arranged rock, sand, sediment, and mud that were later dismembered by disintegration, bringing about the disconnected remainders of the development. Singular collections shift enormously in thickness, however a large portion of the Seymour is under 100 feet. 
Hueco-Mesilla Bolson 
These aquifers are situated in El Paso and Hudspeth areas in far West Texas and happen in Tertiary and Quaternary bowl fill stores that expand northward into New Mexico and westbound into Mexico. The Hueco Bolson, situated on the eastern side of the Franklin Mountains, comprises of up to 9,000 feet of mud, sediment, sand, and rock and is an essential wellspring of drinking water for both El Paso and Juarez, Mexico. 
Dell City inundated field 
Dell City water system from the Bone Spring– Victorio Peak minor aquifer in Hudspeth County. For a guide of the 21 minor aquifers of Texas, click. 
Found west of the Franklin Mountains, the Mesilla Bolson comes to up to 2,000 feet in thickness and contains three separate water-delivering zones. 
Pecos Valley 
Situated in the upper Pecos River Valley of West Texas, this aquifer, once in the past called the Cenozoic Pecos Alluvium, reaches out through 12 regions. In 2008, 72 percent of groundwater pumped from the aquifer was utilized for water system, and the rest is pulled back for mechanical utilizations, control supply, and city utilize. Comprising of up to 1,500 feet of alluvial fill, the aquifer possesses two hydrologically isolate bowls: the Pecos Trough in the west and the Monument Draw Trough in the east.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The presence of mustones by curiosity rover indicates chances of ancient life.

Explanation:

  • The Yellowknife bay is a geologic formation of the Gale crater on the planet Mars and NASA named the rover as a curiosity. Its primary goal was to assess the potential habitability and whether the mars are capable to support life.  
  • The presence of the mudstones in the geologic depression area on mars leads to its name as Yellowknife i.e the capital of the northwest territory of Canada.
  • The findings of the mudstone from the stepped bedded stata indicate the clay minerals that show the presence of water and claims that an ancient creator was found on in this region and these indicators of a potential mafic source of origin of deposition.
