Answer:

Pleistocene

Explanation:

  • This period lasted for about 2,580,000 to 11,700 years thus is most recent and is known for the repeated periods of the glaciation that occurred on the earth. It's the first epoch in the quaternary period.  
  • And shows us the marine deposited sediments that were primarily influenced by the glacial fluvial deposits formed by the moving glaciers.,  where glaciers covered the earth about 30% of the surface was in ice layers.
  • <u>Andes mount was also covered by the ice caps. New Zealand also had glacier terrain and over 11 major glacial events have taken place since then the Co2 got trapped in the ice</u>.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

A. the concept of cultural landscape

Explanation:

The adobe is a structure that was made by three tribes (Zuni, Pueblo, and Hopi) that lived in Southwest of America. The adobe is built with sun-dried earth made from sand to make strong brick-like materials, clay, water, sandstone mixture, and organic matter. Gaps were filled with much more mud between the blocks to prevent the wind, rain, and keep out bugs and other unwanted pests. The Adobe building is an example of a cultural landscape.

Wegener's theory of continental drift was formulated at a time when evidence for it was lacking. what new evidence was harry hes
Andrew [12]
The theory of continental drift by Alfred Wegener states that all land masses were originally united in a single supercontinent known as Pangaea (250 million years ago). He shows evidences like continental fit, similarity of rock sequences, glacial till and striations, fossils (cynogathus-land reptile, lystrosaurus-land reptile, mesosaraus-freshwater reptile, glossopteris-fern plant) to support his theory but what was lacking is that it lacked a mechanism to explain HOW the continents moved apart. But Harry Hess, a geologist and Navy submarine commander during WWII <span>brought up a new evidence to add in support of Wegener’s theory: the idea of seafloor spreading and magnetic reversals.</span>

Answer:

Eolian sedimentary environment

Explanation:

Winds can transport many different-sized particles of material from the ground through the process of erosion. These particles might travel many kilometers until they deposit somewhere. Regions with scarce vegetation have too much dust and grain-sized particles that move and crush each other, increasing erosion. This process is known as eolic erosion.

The most prominent accumulations of wind deposits are the dunes. However, there are other smaller accumulations such as the ripples and other larger ones called Draas. Their main differences are in addition to size, is the wavelength between them.

Dunes are winds deposits, formations that are, in general, typical of deserts. Dunes are orientated according to the direction and speed of winds, to the presence of loose material, and vegetation. Strong winds transport material until it collides with an object or obstacle where it is deposited, originating a new dune.

Dunes are very dynamic formations that are constantly being remodeled by the direction and strength of the winds. Dunes always have a soft slope and a sharp one. The soft slope is directed to the area or region where the wind is coming from and is the product of the wind erosion on the same dune. The opposite sharp slope is protected from the wind and is the deposition place, where the wind losses strength and the carrying material falls, depositing in this side of the dune.

Sinkiang is a desert in China. Placing yourself at 39 05 52.46N 84 30 56.16E lets you appreciate the duned shape of the ground. By zooming in and out, you can notice the soft and sharp slopes that are forming each of the dunes and the distance between them.

Under the Roman Empire, citizenship and loyalty to the empire governed society. What governed society after the empire fell?
Alborosie
The correct answer is a bond of language and culture

When the empire fell, the military disbanded more or less and the country was in chaos. That is why a bond of language and culture kept the decentralized mess of an empire still going.
