Hussein is concerned because he cannot remember events from before he was about 4 years old. What is the most likely cause for t
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

His maturing cortex

His memories became organized differently as he grew older.

Explanation:

The prefrontal cortex is also known as the "CEO of the brain," the part of the frontal lobes located just below the forehead. This brain area is accountable for cognitive comprehension and critical thought, and control of "appropriate" actions in social contexts. One of the last areas of the brain to achieve maturation is the prefrontal cortex. However, when asked about earlier memories, children are rarely able to remember memories of incidents that took place earlier than three or four years of age that is similar to the case of Hussein in the question.

What is geographically different about the parts of Utah that get more precipitation that other parts?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Precipitation varies greatly, from an average of less than five inches annually over the Great Salt Lake Desert (west of Great Salt Lake), to more than 40 inches in some parts of the Wasatch Mountains.  The average annual precipitation in the leading agricultural areas is between 10 to 15 inches, necessitating irrigation for the economic production of most crops.  However, the mountains, where winter snows form the chief reservoirs of moisture, are conveniently adjacent to practically all farming areas, and there is usually sufficient water for most land under irrigation.  The areas of the State below an elevation of 4,000 feet, all in the southern part, generally receive less than 10 inches of moisture annually.

 

Northwestern Utah, over and along the mountains, receives appreciably more precipitation in a year than is received at similar elevations over the rest of the State, primarily due to terrain and the direction of normal storm tracks.  The bulk of the moisture falling over that area can be attributed to the movement of Pacific storms through the region during the winter and spring months.  In summer northwestern Utah is comparatively dry.  The eastern portion receives appreciable rain from summer thunderstorms, which are usually associated with moisture-laden air masses from the Gulf of Mexico.

 

Snowfall is moderately heavy in the mountains, especially over the northern part.  This is conducive to a large amount of winter sports activity, including skiing and hunting. While the principal population centers along the base of the mountains receive more snow, as a rule, than many middle and northeastern sections of the United States, a deep snow cover seldom remains long on the ground.

 

Runoff from melting mountain snow usually reaches a peak in April, May or early June, and sometimes causes flooding along the lower streams.  However, damaging floods of this kind are infrequent.  Flash floods from summer thunderstorms are more frequent, but they affect only small, local areas.

What was the argument in the Dred Scott case
Kamila [148]

Dred Scott Vs. Stanford case was heard in Supreme court of US which issued its final ruling saying that Africans whether free or slaves were not the citizens of US.

Explanation:

Dred Scott who is a plaintiff and a slave was bought by John Emerson in Missouri. Later Emerson came along with Dred Scott to Illinois where Scott married and as they were returning to Missouri, Emerson died. Now Dred Scott decided to sue for his freedom in the federal court. He claimed he was free as he lived in the  free state.

Robert Taney who was the chief justice issued the land mark decision that African american though free or slave were not the citizen of US and hence Dred Scott had no right to sue in the federal court. Dred Scott lost his case and this ruling was condemned universally as one of the racism based verdicts which paved way for the amendments of the statutes pertaining to the rights of African Americans.
