History

horrorfan [7]3 years ago

Answer:

1) Dam. Raises the water level of the river to create falling water. Also controls the flow of water. The reservoir that is formed is, in effect, stored energy.

2) Turbine. The force of falling water pushing against the turbine's blades causes the turbine to spin. A water turbine is much like a windmill, except the energy is provided by falling water instead of wind. The turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy.

3) Generator. Connected to the turbine by shafts and possibly gears so when the turbine spins it causes the generator to spin also. Converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electric energy. Generators in hydropower plants work just like the generators in other types of power plants.

4) Transmission lines. Conduct electricity from the hydropower plant to homes and business.

John Kennedy sent foreign aid to Latin American nations during his administration. How would this combat
Yanka [14]

Answer:

It made foreign nations more likely to ally with the US

Explanation:

The foreign aid that was sent by the administration of John Kennedy to Latin America had the purpose of making the countries in this region allies of the United States. The principle at how the aid was expected to work was that the people and governments of these countries would be grateful to the United States and see them as a friend that tries to help them and develop them. While the idea was good for the United States, in practice it was not going as planned. Most of the Latin American countries had much more affinity toward the communism and socialism, which was something that the United States was actually fighting against, and unfortunately that led to numerous conflicts in this regions, most of which sponsored by the United States themselves.

What was one reason France sided with the Americans in the Revolutionary War? They wanted American resources.
sesenic [268]

The correct answer is C) France lost the French and Indian War.

One reason why France sided with the Americans in the Revolutionary War was that France lost the "French and Indian War."

England and France fought the "French and Indian War" in 1756. Both countries disputed territories in North America because they had imperialistic interests in the region. Some Native American Indians sided with the French, others with the British. In the end, England won the war. That is why the French decided to support the Continental Army, led by General George Washington, during the Revolutionary War, where the 13 colonies fought against the British troops to gain independence from the British crown.
