If Mary was born in 70 BC and died in the year 5AD, how old was she when she died?

75 Years old

Mary was born in 70 BC and died in the year 5AD. To determine her age at the time of her death, we subtract her birth year from her death year. However, since there is no year 0 between 1 BC and 1 AD, we need to consider this when calculating her age. Therefore, we subtract 70 from 5, which gives us 65 years. However, we also need to account for the missing year 0, so we add 1 to the result. Thus, Mary was 66 years old when she died.

True or False:

Lines of latitude are lines going around the globe from east to west.

True 

Lines of latitude are indeed lines that encircle the globe from east to west. These lines are parallel to the equator and are used to measure distances north or south of the equator. They are also known as parallels and are equally spaced apart. The equator itself is considered the starting point for measuring latitude, with 0 degrees latitude. As one moves north or south from the equator, the latitude increases or decreases respectively. Therefore, the statement "Lines of latitude are lines going around the globe from east to west" is true.

B.15,000 years ago

C.20,000 years ago

D.When Scrat sank Atlantis

The last ice age ended approximately 10,000 years ago. This is supported by scientific evidence such as the retreat of glaciers and the warming of the Earth's climate. The end of the ice age marked the beginning of the current geological epoch known as the Holocene. During this time, the Earth's climate became more stable, allowing for the development of human civilizations and the expansion of agriculture.
