Answer:

The Untouchables

Explanation:

In addition to the varnas, there is a fifth class in Hinduism. It encompassed outcasts who, literally, did all the dirty work. They were referred to as "untouchables" because they carried out the miserable tasks associated with disease and pollution, such as cleaning up after funerals, dealing with sewage, and working with animal skin.

Brahmins were considered the embodiment of purity, and untouchables the embodiment of pollution. Physical contact between the two groups was absolutely prohibited. Brahmins adhered so strongly to this rule that they felt obliged to bathe if even the shadow of an untouchable fell across them.

The east coast of present-day north america is a good example of a(n) ________ continental margin.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

The correct answer is - Passive.

The passive continental margins are transitional zones between the oceanic and continental crust, lithosphere, and it is not an active plate margin. This type of margins form from sedimentation over an ancient rift, which has now become a transitional lithosphere. This type of margins can be found further away from the ocean ridges, but also away from the active continental margins. The east coast of North America is a nice example of a passive continental margin. It has all the characteristics of it. It is made out of sediments, it is a transitional zone between continental and oceanic lithosphere, it is far away from the mid-ocean ridge from one side, and the active continental margins on the other side.

The aztec empire was destroyed because
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Explanation:

Here's a (very) brief summary of the fall of the Aztec empire, after the arrival of Hernando Cortes until the fall of Tenochtitlán (read a biography of Hernan Cortez here):

1519 (March 4): The Spaniards land in what is now Veracruz. The natives greet him with gifts. A contingent from Tenochtitlán also arrives with gifts. Cortes showed force and demonstrated his canons, terrifying the messengers.

Cortes sinks all the ships except one small vessel, and moves to the city-state of Tlaxcala. Generally speaking they begin on friendly terms.

The Spanish went on to Cholula. It's unclear what happened, but in the end many people in the city were killed by the Spanish. Read more about Cholula here.

1519 (Nov 8): Cortes and army arrives at Tenochtitlán, and begin on good terms. However, Cortes takes charge and demands tribute and some Roman Catholic shrines to replace the Aztec gods.

Cortes returns to the coast to defeat a rival Spanish army. The remaining soldiers join him.

The Aztecs revolt, driving the Spanish from the city. Cuitláhuac becomes emperor.

The Spanish go to Tlaxcala and make an alliance with them.

Most Aztec cities are conquered, and a siege of Tenochtitlán begins.

1521 (13 August): The last Aztec emperor, Cuauhtémoc, surrenders to Cortes.
