Answer:
Sam Houston and the Battle for Texas Independence
"Remember the Alamo" is a well-known phrase. Do you know what it means?
Sam Houston had already served in the U.S. House of Representatives and as governor of Tennessee when he moved to Texas in 1832. At the time he arrived, Texas was part of Mexico and the site of rising tensions and violent disturbances between Mexican authorities and Anglo settlers from the United States. Voicing his support for a separate state of Texas, Houston emerged as a leader among the settlers. In 1835, he was chosen commander in chief of the Texas army.
The Alamo was an 18th century Franciscan Mission in San Antonio, Texas, which was the location of an important battle for Texans fighting for independence from Mexico. In 1836, a small group of Texans was defeated by Mexican General Santa Anna.
When Houston received word of the defeat at the Alamo, he was inspired to begin a month-long retreat to regroup and replenish the Texas army's strength. Remembering how badly the Texans had been defeated at the Alamo, on April 21, 1836, Houston's army won a quick battle against the Mexican forces at San Jacinto and gained independence for Texas. Soon after, Houston was elected president of the Republic of Texas. He continued to serve as senator and governor after Texas became part of the United States in 1845.
Sam Houston died in 1863 in Huntsville, Texas, where a 67-foot-tall memorial statue of him now stands. After a lifetime of service to his country, the event for which he is most well known is his role in the independence of Texas.

The cause of these uprisings was Greek discontent against the Persian administration in that part of the world. Because of that act, Parzia attacked Greece.

The core of Earth is made out of iron and nickel. The outer core’s temperature is so hot that it melts the metal. The inner core is solid metal. What causes these differences?
1. The outer core is 2,300 km thick.
2. the inner core is solid by intense pressure of all its layers above it
3. the inner core has a cooler temperature allowing the metal to return solid
4. the inner core is made of different metal
Answer:
4,
Explanation:
the inner core makes up only 1% of the mass of the Earth; the outer core makes up about 32% of the mass of the Earth. Answer 2: The inner core is solid because it is made of very dense, or heavy, materials - like iron and nickel. Even though it is very hot, these materials don't "melt" very easily, so they stay solid.

how is a sea lion digestive system different than a human digestive system
Answer:
The sea lion digestive system: short but stomach is important to them, 4 x of the length. But the human digestive system is: Digestion works by moving food through the GI tract. Digestion begins in the mouth with chewing and ends in the small intestine. As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules.
So the sea lion system part, which is the stomach, is important to them (based from i seen when I searched), but the human system is the same as well, so there is basically no differences... but i hope this helps!
