Answer:

<em>The reason counties in East and West Texas have different shapes is because of the requirements outlined in the Constitution of 1876. It required that counties were at least 900 square miles and that they were in the shape of a square whenever possible. The majority of the counties in West Texas and near the panhandle are in the shape of squares because they were created after the Constitution of 1876 was written while those in East Texas have different shapes because they were created prior to the Constitution of 1876.</em>

Answer:

The map of Texas, you can see that the counties of East Texas are shaped very differently from the counties of West Texas. And the reason why is after 1876 under the new constitution of the state of Texas, counties had to be at least 900 square miles, and they had to be square shaped whenever possible. So all of the counties in the west and up in the Panhandle were all formed after 1876. County governments again were outlined in the Constitution of 1876, and the same county government is found throughout the state of Texas today. New counties again had to be at least 900 square miles and square-shaped whenever possible. Currently, there are 254 counties in the state of Texas, and the responsibility of county government includes collecting taxes, holding elections, and offering other types of services.

balu736 [363]

The Homo Sapiens' lighter, less muscled body type led to its success because this made the species to be more agile and needed fewer calories to survive.

<h3>How does the Homo Sapiens body differ from other hominid species and other animals?</h3>

In general the Homo Sapiens is smaller if compared to other animals such as tigers, elephants, etc. who seem to be more fierce than humans. Moreover, if compared to other hominis such as gorillas, the human body is less muscles.

Despite this, humans have a bigger brain and seem to have better skills at surviving than other species.
