Answer:
The exposed geology of the Yosemite area includes primarily granitic rocks with some older metamorphic rock. The first rocks were laid down in Precambrian times, when the area around Yosemite National Park was on the edge of a very young North American continent. The sediment that formed the area first settled in the waters of a shallow sea, and compressive forces from a subduction zone in the mid-Paleozoic fused the seabed rocks and sediments, appending them to the continent. Heat generated from the subduction created island arcs of volcanoes that were also thrust into the area of the park. In time, the igneous and sedimentary rocks of the area were later heavily metamorphosed.
Most of the rock now exposed in the park is granitic, having been formed 210 to 80 million years ago as igneous diapirs 6 miles (10 km) below the surface. Over time, most of the overlying rock was uplifted along with the rest of the Sierra Nevada and was removed from the area by erosion. This exposed the granitic rock to much lower pressure, and it was also subjected to erosion in the forms of exfoliation and mass wasting.
Starting about 3 million years ago a series of glaciations further modified the area by accelerating the erosion. During that time large glaciers periodically filled the valleys and canyons. Landslides and river erosion have been the primary erosive forces since the end of the last glacial period, which ended in this area around 12,000 years BP.

Answer:
The volume of the given pyramid is 340.8 cubic feet.
Explanation:
The volume of an object is a consideration of the dimensions of the object with respect to 3 dimensions.
volume of a pyramid =
x base area x height
But,
base area = length x width
= 12 x 12
= 144 square feet
So that,
volume of the pyramid =
x 144 x 7.1
=
x 1022.4
= 340.8
The volume of the given pyramid is 340.8 cubic feet.

The answer is C.lost even more control of its own affairs to Western imperial powers.
China lost the Sino-Japanese war, and was forced to make compensation with Japanese. Much capital were demanded from Japanese, which took up three years of income of the government, making the Chinese gavernment to be in dept.
To pay for the compansation, China tried to gather capital by renting ports to the other countries, and allowing the Western powers to took the right of mining as well as building railways in the mainland area. This had caused China to lose even more control of its own land.
Therefore the answer is C.lost even more control of its own affairs to Western imperial powers.
Hope it helps!
