To converge means to come together: so in a convergent fault two tectonic plates would come together and collide with each other, this means that the best answer is "<span> crash into one another" - that's why they're also called destructive plate boundaries. </span>
Answer:
After reading the statement for answer, I noticed that some were true and some were false. So, I'll assume your question is related to that fact.
Here's an analysis of the statements:
Ancient civilizations once lived along the Nile.
TRUE. That's why we encounter the pyramids in that region.
Fertile lands surround the Nile.
TRUE, since the Nile is THE most important source of water in the area, it's logical for it to be the location of agriculture.
Few people live near the river.
FALSE. In Ancient times and today, the Nile shores host most of the population of Egypt, a large part of the country being essentially a chunk of the Sahara desert.
The Nile provides irrigation for surrounding farms.
TRUE. The Nile is virtually the only source of abundant water in the area.
The Nile runs through Libya and Tunisia.
FALSE. Libya and Tunisia are WEST of the country of Egypt and have nothing to do with the Nile.
So, depending if you had to find the TRUE or FALSE statements in this list, make your pick. I hope that helps.
Answer:
The 'Middle Ages' are called this because it is the time between the fall of Imperial Rome and the beginning of the Early modern Europe. ... The Dark Ages are given this name because Europe was in disarray in comparison to the orderliness of classical antiquity and life was short and poor.
Your question could mean one of two different things.
You could be asking "How do I figure out the longitude and latitude
of, let's say, Killeen, Texas."
The answer to that is: You look on a map or a globe that has latitude
and longitude lines printed on it, find Killeen, Texas, and estimate its
coordinates as well as you can from the lines printed nearest to it.
Or you could be asking "If I'm out in the middle of the ocean at night,
how do I figure out the longitude and latitude of where I am ?"
I'm afraid the answer to that is far too complicated to write here.
All I can say is: The science of "Navigation" was developed over a period
of hundreds of years. If you look at the history of sea exploration through
the centuries, you see how the explorers ventured farther and farther from
their home ports as time went on. The reason for that is that they were
developing better and better methods of figuring out where they were as
they sailed.
And about 20 years ago, that all changed. Drastically. Now, anybody at all
can walk into his neighborhood sporting-goods store, and buy a little device
that fits in his shirt pocket or in the palm of his hand, and whenever he has a
view of the sky, it can give him the latitude and longitude of the place where
he's standing, more accurately than the best navigators in the US Navy or
the British Armada could ever calculate it before.
That was when countries started putting up bunches of little satellites
to broadcast signals to our pocket receivers.
The satellites that the US put up are called the Global Positioning System . . .
the GPS.
