The standardization of city layouts, weights, and measures in the Indus Valley Civilization suggests which political structure?
💡 Explanation:The remarkable consistency in urban planning (grid systems), standardized brick size, and uniform weights and measures across the vast geographical area of the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) is the strongest archaeological evidence suggesting a highly centralized, single authority or a powerful federation was in control. This level of standardization and administrative control across multiple major sites (like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro) contrasts sharply with the often-competing city-state models of contemporaneous civilizations like Mesopotamia. The question asks for the best-fit political structure implied by this specific evidence (application of concept).

What atmospheric principle causes the sky to appear reddish-orange during sunrise and sunset?
💡 Explanation:The reddish-orange appearance of the sky at sunrise and sunset is primarily due to Rayleigh Scattering. As sunlight travels a longer path through the atmosphere when the Sun is low, shorter blue wavelengths are scattered away more efficiently by air molecules, allowing longer red and orange wavelengths to pass directly through to the observer.

According to Moore’s Law, what characteristic of an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years?
💡 Explanation:Moore’s Law, an observation by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, states that the number of transistors on a microchip (Integrated Circuit) roughly doubles every two years. This exponential growth in transistor count has been the driving force behind the corresponding increase in computing power and decrease in cost. The common misconception that performance doubles every 18 months is a *consequence* of this law, but the law itself is specifically about the doubling of the transistor count.
