The Great Wall of China was constructed by the Qin Dynasty. Its purpose was to keep barbarians like the Mongols away from the more populated Han China.

It didn't really work though because barbarians, again, the Mongols, went around it.

It is now just used as a massive tourist attraction bringing in almost 10 million tourists a year. Basically its just a big source of revenue now.

Explanation:

2,300 years ago the first sections of the Great Wall were built to keep outsiders out, but ironically it is now rebuilt to draw tourists in. Over the centuries, the Great Wall has been built and rebuilt for three main purposes: as kingdom border defenses, to defend China's northern border, and for tourism.

Countries which border the Persian Gulf such as Kuwait have very limited freshwater supplies. Many are forced to search for wate
Yuri [45]
They can boil old nasty "gray water", or they can make a desalinator and remove the salt which works kinda like a moonshine still by boiling the water and then cooling the steam down and out the other end comes fresh water, or they can catch rain water.

9<br> Why doesn't sexual reproduction produce identical offspring?
Aloiza [94]

Answer/Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is a a combination of chromosomes from each mate. Since each mate has different pairs, when combined they produce a completely different product.

This product has half of the characteristics from both sides.

Below is an example of how this works. The bold cells are from one mate and the other is from the other.

X     --->    ><    <---   X

X     --->    ><    <---   X

X     --->    ><    <---   X

X     --->    ><    <---   X

X     --->    ><    <---   X

As shown, the cells broke in half and combined with the other half forming a cell of 50/50. With this process it never created an identical offspring but different ones each time since different parts of the cell combines in different ways but still remains half of one and half of the other.
