It could have been man’s first effort at major road building as it was no mean structure with elaborate longitudinal drains‚ a 200 mm basecourse of sandstone in a clay-gypsum mortar‚ and a 4m longitudinal surface of basalt blocks. The first major arterial road was probably 2.5Km route built by Assyria from its capital Susa in eastern Iran‚ via Nineveh to the Mediterranean ports of western Turkey. The importance of the route was that it linked Assyria with the trading

Assess the different hypotheses put forward for the mass extinctions at the end of the Permian and Cretaceous (KT) Periods. A mass extinction is an event in which at least 25-75% of species in the global environment are eradicated in a short period of time. Where as a regional extinction event is when the extinction is confined to a specific zone. Five mass extinctions have occurred throughout time‚ two of the most well known of these are the Permian and Cretaceous extinction events. There

We know the earth’s core is hot through hot spring geezers and volcano lava. 2 types of crust OCEANIC CRUST: it is found under the oceans; it’s thin and has a low density as it is made from an igneous rock called basalt. It is 6-8 km thick. CONTINENTAL CRUST: this forms the land‚ made from granite which is low density igneous rock. It is on average 30-50km Earths heat engine Geothermal is heat from inside the earth the heat is produced by radioactive decay.
