Answer: To increase oil prices by controlling global supply

Explanation:

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was formed when some oil producing countries decided that it would be best to form a cartel that would dictate the supply of oil and in effect the price as well.

By forming a cartel, they would have more control over what price to charge other nations which would allow for more revenue to come into these countries. OPEC also uses its influence to impart global issues as they once refused to sell oil to western nations unless those nations criticized and restricted support for Israel.

tatuchka [14]

In the 1700s, James Watt caused a revolution in transportation<em> by improving steam engine technology.</em>

He was a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer. He made improvements on Thomas Newcomen's  steam engine that was patented in 1698 and widely in use at the time of Watt's birth ( 1736).

It all started when Watt was given a model Newcomen engine to repair. He realized it was very inefficient and he began to find ways to improve its performance. He designed a separating condensing chamber for the engine to avoid huge losses of steam. He patented his improvements in 1769.

A unit of measurement of electrical and mechanical power -<em> the watt</em> - is named in his honor.

True [87]

Answer:

The best known example of ancient Egyptian architecture are the Egyptian pyramids while excavated temples, palaces, tombs and fortresses have also been studied.

Many buildings were aligned astronomically. Columns were typically adorned with capitals decorated to resemble plants important to Egyptian civilization, such as the papyrus plant.

Ancient Egyptian architectural motifs have influenced architecture elsewhere, reaching the wider world first during the Orientalizing period and again during the nineteenth-century Egyptomania.
