Answer:

The Red River Gorge is a canyon system on the Red River in east-central Kentucky. Geologically, it is part of the Pottsville Escarpment.

The gorge lies within the Daniel Boone National Forest and has been subsequently designated as the Red River Gorge Geological Area, an area of around 29,000 acres (120 km2; 45 sq mi). It has been designated a National Natural Landmark and National Archaeological District, and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 13,379-acre (54.14 km2; 20.905 sq mi) Clifty Wilderness Area lies entirely within the geological area in the Red River Gorge.

This intricate canyon system features an abundance of high sandstone cliffs, rock shelters, waterfalls, and natural bridges. There are more than 100 natural sandstone arches in the Red River Gorge Geological Area. The multitude of sandstone and cliff-lines have helped this area become one of the world's top rock climbing destinations and is home to the Red River Gorge Climbers' Coalition. The area is nicknamed the Red by climbers.

Kentucky's Natural Bridge State Park is immediately adjacent to this area, featuring one of the largest natural bridges in the Red River Gorge.

The section of the Red River in the upper gorge is also a legally designated Kentucky Wild River by the Kentucky General Assembly through the Office of Kentucky Nature Preserves' Wild Rivers Program.

Because of its unusual and rugged nature, the Red River Gorge features a remarkable variety of ecological zones.

Next to each short event or account, write either historical or unhistorical.
Cerrena [4.2K]

The correct matches are the following.

Next to each short event or account, write either historical or unhistorical.

a. George Washington never told a lie. Historical.

b. Hildegard of Bingen had visions from god. Historical.

c. Hildegard of Bingen wrote about visions from god. Historical.

d. Native African people are not capable of constructing with stone. Unhistorical.

e. Romans built roads. Historical.

When we refer to the term historical, we mean that the statement is based on historical events. So we can search on primary or secondary sources to find the topic and the argument. Then historical means it is based on historical facts that can be supported. On the contrary, the term unhistorical means that there is no historic support to the claim, and probably the statement is only based on oral tradition, suppositions, or deductions.

Describe the houses that some families lived in in the great depression
densk [106]

The Great Depression (1929-1939) was the worst economic downturn in modern history. The preceding decade, known as the “Roaring Twenties,” was a time of relative affluence for many middle- and working-class families. As the economy boomed, new innovations allowed for more leisure time and the creation of a consumer society. But the economic depression that followed those boon years profoundly affected the daily life of American families, in ways large and small.
