SpyIntel [72]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Mauryan empire, in ancient India, a state centred at Pataliputra (later Patna) near the junction of the Son and Ganges (Ganga) rivers. It lasted from about 321 to 185 BCE and was the first empire to encompass most of the Indian subcontinent.

Gupta Empire of Chandragupta II

After gaining power, Chandragupta II expanded the Gupta Empire through conquest and political marriages until the end of his reign in 413 CE. By 395 CE, his control over India extended coast-to-coast. Just like Ashoka, Chandragupta II made Pataliputra the capital of his empire and centralized the government there. He used tribute money from allies to fund government projects and salaries. Unlike Ashoka, Chandragupta did not rely on a network of spies or closely monitor the affairs of foreigners or allies. Instead, he let regions make their own decisions about administration and local governance.

Some scholars have argued that the Gupta empire was a golden age of India. The empire was marked by peace and public safety, and scholars flourished in this environment. Kalidasa, a poet of the time, is considered the greatest poet and dramatist of the Sanskrit language. Aryabhata, who lived during Gupta empire, was the first of the Indian mathematician-astronomers who worked on the approximation for Pi. Vishnu Sharma is thought to be the author of the Panchatantra fables, one of the most widely-translated non-religious books in history.

The Gupta empire ended with the invasion of the White Huns, a nomadic tribe of people from central Asia, at the end of the fifth century CE. Until the sixteenth century, there was no unifying empire; regional political kingdoms ruled India.

Wilson's farm is in the mountains of Arizona. Byron's farm is in the flat plains of Kansas. Which of the following
never [62]

Wilson's farm would be more likely to have coarse soil than Byron's farm.

Explanation:

The mountain of Arizona and the flat plains of Kansas offer very different conditions when it comes to farming. Both places have their challenges, but Arizona's mountains are much more problematic when it comes to farming. Some of the reasons for this are the:

  • arid and semi-arid climate
  • lower quality of the soil
  • sloping terrain
  • large scale erosion

As mentioned, the soil is not of very high quality, and the chances are that its texture will be coarse one. This would make a problem for Wilson, as this type of soil apart from not being very fertile, is also much harder to work on. The other factors contribute to large scale erosion, which makes it very hard to create a fertile top layer, as it will constantly be stripped off by the natural factors.
