Everything changed during the Industrial Revolution, which began around 1750. People found an extra source of energy with an incredible capacity for work. That source was fossil fuels — coal, oil, and natural gas, though coal led the way — formed underground from the remains of plants and animals from much earlier geologic times. When these fuels were burned, they released energy, originally from the Sun, that had been stored for hundreds of millions of years. Coal was formed when huge trees from the Carboniferous period (345– 280 million years ago) fell and were covered with water, so that oxygen and bacteria could not decay them. Instead, the pressure of the weight of materials above them compressed them into dark, carbonic, ignitable rock. Most of the Earth’s oil and gas formed over a hundred million years ago from tiny animal skeletons and plant matter that fell to the bottom of seas or were buried in sediment. This organic matter was compacted by the weight of water and soil. Coal, oil, and gas, despite their relative abundance, are not evenly distributed on Earth; some places have much more than others, due to geographic factors and the diverse ecosystems that existed long ago.

The story of the Industrial Revolution begins on the small island of Great Britain. By the early 18th century, people there had used up most of their trees for building houses and ships and for cooking and heating. In their search for something else to burn, they turned to the hunks of black stone (coal) that they found near the surface of the earth. Soon they were digging deeper to mine it. Their coal mines filled with water that needed to be removed; horses pulling up bucketfuls proved slow going.
Answer: B. ICS provides a structure for organizing field-level operations for a broad spectrum of incidents.
Explanation:
The ICS which is short for the Incident Command System refers to command and control structures that are widely used by government, NGOs and even organisations in the Private sector.
By structuring incident responses into 5 areas namely; Command, Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance/Administration, the ICS provides a framework to organize operations for a broad spectrum of events in the field.
c. proved that cattle could be driven to distant markets.
d. established a link to the booming urban markets of the East.
Explanation:
Cattle drives began in American West where they moved large herds of livestock to market, find fresh pasture, and to shipping points. In the 19th century, ranching became possible in Texas to Missouri. Cattle raised by the Spanish in Texas which began in mid 18th century. Early cattle drives headed west after the gold rush.
In classic research, Dweck (1975) found that boys tend to attribute their poor performance in math to unstable internal factors, whereas girls tend to attribute their poor performance in math to stable internal factors.
Explanation:
Here, we are talking about motives related to attribution. Notice that Dweck found that boys attribute their success in math to unstable internal factors, and girls to stable internal factors.
External and internal are related to the locus of the attribution, the "location" of the cause of success or failure. For instance, an external attribution may be the fact that the test was easy. An internal one may be our own ability in math.
Unstable and stable are related to the stability of the attribution. For instance, cramming for the exam is an unstable attribution, since the effort we put into studying may vary each time. Ability, on the other hand, is a stable one, since it lasts and has consistency.
