Answer:

A dictionary, by definition is a book or electronic resource that lists the words of a language, typically in alphabetical order and states their meaning and often provides information about pronunciation, roots, origin and usage. On the other hand a thesaurus is a book that lists words in groups of synonyms and related concepts. A dictionary is often used to find how to spell a word or what the definition of the word is, a thesaurus is used to find synonym and antonyms.

(I don't know if its 50 words or not, but I hope it helps!)

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, by James Cross Giblin.
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer: Translating the demotic text on the Rosetta Stone took the work of many scholars.

In this text, the author mentions that Heinrich Karl Brugsch was the first scholar who truly understood the symbols in the demotic passage. However, he also claims that the scholar developed his work after other scholars such as De Sacy, Akerblad, Young and Champollion had made some progress with it. Moreover, he states that Dr. J. J. Hess published an even more detailed version of it. This supports the idea that translating the Rosetta Stone took the work of many scholars.

Why are mountain ranges a good<br> indicator of geological changes?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The world's tallest mountain ranges form when pieces of Earth's crust—called plates—smash against each other in a process called plate tectonics, and buckle up like the hood of a car in a head-on collision.
