marta [7]3 years ago

Answer:

B. Underground water close to the surface of the land

Explanation:

The water table is the underground dividing line between the unsaturated zone in the upper layer and the saturated zone in the lower layer. The unsaturated zone is the soil surface and zone of aeration where oxygen and water permeate through the soil. The saturated zone is composed of hard rock. When water precipitates from the soil, the result is the groundwater found below the water table.

Groundwater overflows as springs into water bodies at the point where the land surface converges with the water table. Therefore, regions with high table water will have their underground water close to the land surface.

How was Afghanistan caught in the middle of the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union?
dusya [7]

Answer: Leaders: The leaders of Afghanistan during the war included General Secretary Babrak Karmal and President Mohammad Najibullah. Soviet Union leaders included Leonid Brezhnev and Mikhail Gorbachev. Leaders from the Mujahideen included Ahmad Shah Massoud (nicknamed the Lion of Panjshir) and Abdul Haq. US Presidents during this time were Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan.

Explanation:

The Soviet Afghanistan War was fought between Afghanistan rebels called the Mujahideen and the Soviet supported Afghanistan government. The United States supported the Afghanistan rebels in order to try and overthrow the communist government and to prevent the spread of communism.

Before the War As one of its bordering neighbors, the Soviet Union had a long history of supporting and providing aid to Afghanistan. On April 27, 1978 a Soviet supported communist government took over the country. The new government was called the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan (DRA). Many of the Afghanistan people did not like the new communist government, primarily because many of the laws went against their Muslim religion. They began to rebel against the current government. The rebels called themselves the Mujahideen. In September of 1979, events in Afghanistan became more unstable when Afghan leader Hafizullah Amin had the current president killed and took control of the communist government. The War Begins The leaders of the Soviet Union became concerned that President Amin was having discussions with the United States. On December 24, 1979 the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. They had President Amin put to death and installed their own leader, President Babrak Karmal. The War Over the next several years the Soviet Army would battle with the Mujahideen. It was a very difficult battle. Many of the Soviet soldiers were untested in battle and their gear was not designed for the harsh environment of Afghanistan. Also, the Mujahideen soldiers were fighting for their homeland and their religion. They were fierce fighters and had many good places to hide in the mountains. As the war continued with little success, it became a source of embarrassment for the Soviet Union. Their army no longer seemed invincible to the rest of the world. The Soviets also came under increasing international pressure. The war was condemned by the United Nations, the US pulled out of the SALT treaty talks, and the US boycotted the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. The War Ends When Mikhail Gorbachev became leader of the Soviet Union he wanted the war to end. He first tried to increase Soviet troops to end the war quickly. However, this didn't work. By 1988 Gorbachev realized the war was costing Soviet troops and hurting their economy. He signed a peace treaty to end the war. The last Soviet troops departed Afghanistan on February 15, 1989. Facts About the Soviet Afghanistan War Because the Soviet Union failed in securing Afghanistan from the rebels for such a long period of time, the war is sometimes referred to as the Soviet Union's Vietnam War. The United States provided the Mujahideen with Stinger missiles. These enabled them to shoot down Soviet helicopters and were a major turning point in the war. Around 13,000 Soviet troops were killed in the war. It's estimated that over 1 million Afghanis died from the war. Most of these were civilians, not soldiers. Around 5 million people fled the country of Afghanistan during the war. Most went to Pakistan or Iraq. The war destroyed much of the country's infrastructure. It became one of the poorest nations in the world after the war was over.

Berlin korea and cuba how did the us contain communism dbq answer key
Naily [24]
Berlin--communism was contained by splitting the city of Berlin between East and West instead of allowing the capital city to fall under the control of the USSR

Korea--the US with the United Nations partitioned Korea into North and South with the North under the influence of the USSR and the South under the influence of the West. The advance of the North was prevented and the partition remained following the Korea War. 

Cuba--though Cuba became a communist nation, the US attempted overthrows and potentially an assassination of the communist leader Fidel Castro. When the USSR attempted to put missiles in Cuba, the US was able to negotiate and prevent the missiles.

Dennis_Churaev [7]
One of the main ways in which the United States attempted to strengthen its ties and influence with the nations of Latin America was by declaring that further attempts to colonize this area by Europeans would be met with resistance by the US--as embodied in the Monroe Doctrine.
