Compare maps of the world in ancient times with current political maps. Use the maps below to answer the following question. Compare the two maps. Which geographical feature formed the western boundary of the Plains Native American cultural region?

A) The Appalachian Mountains
B) The Rocky Mountains
C) The Mississippi River
D) The Pacific Ocean

The correct answer is B) The Rocky Mountains

Explanation:

The first map shows in colors the cultural regions that divided North America. In this, the Great Plains region is shown in yellow and this is located in the interior of the U.S. territory. On the other hand, the second map displays geographical features of the U.S. including important mountain ranges and water bodies. In this, the Rocky Mountains are shown in brown. Moreover, these mountains act as a border for the Great Plains, which are shown in yellow and are located to the east of the Rocky Mountains. Thus, the feature that forms the western boundary of the Great Plains is the Rocky Mountain.

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
