How much is a shield armor and weapons worth in the middle ages?
900
Christopher Paul Curtis where did much of his content for his story come from?

Is water actually much drier than sand?
Being dry means free of any liquids. Since water is a liquid and sand is a solid, sand is actually much drier than water.
Did ancient egyptians drink beer?
Yes they drank beer but its alcohol content was much less than modern day beer and it was thicker and sweeter.
Uncontrolled water supply in mesopotamian?
The problem was that there was too much water so obviously it flooded.
Why is Mauna Loa a shield volcano?
Yes. Mount Kilauea is a shield volcano. If you look at Mt. Kilauea at an angle, it will look like a big cone.
What are the kinds of cone volcanoes?
There are three kinds of cone volcanoes shield cones, composite cones, and cinder cones. Shield cones have very fluid lava. They erupt with a quiet lava flow. An example of a shield cone volcano is Mauna Loa. A shield cone is pretty much a little dome that has been flattened. Composite cones have sticky lava and rock bits. They have the most explosive eruptions An example of a composite cone volcano is Vesuvius. Composite cones are steep at the top but gentle at the bottom. Cinder cones have cinders. They have explosive eruptions An example is Paricutin. A cinder cone is very steep.
How much silica does a composite volcano have?
The silica content will vary from one volcano to the next and will even vary over time for a single volcano. On average, though, composite volcanoes erupt intermediate rocks that are 52-63% silica.
What are gentle sided and steep sided volcanoes?
gently sloping volcanoes are called shield volcanoes and they are formed from many eruptions of lava that is relatively low in silica, so it spreads out in many thin layers and creates the gently sloping sides of a shield volcano.
What is the difference between fresh water and ocean?
Ocean water has a higher salinity (salt content) than fresh water does.
How much percentag of water in arrowroot?
The percentage of water content in arrowroot stands at 63%.

Why do cinder cone volcanoes have narrower bases and steeper sides then shield volcanoes do?
The way a volcano is being formed, depends on the type of lava. Cinder cone volcanoes is made from andesitic lava. This type of lava is especially thick, and therefore is won't be able to ''run'' very far from the volcano. In this way, each time a cinder cone volcano erupts, it will create a new layer of lava, making the volcano higher and higher each time, but it will not increase its base area very much. It's different with shield volcanoes. They are made from another kind of lava which will advance very far from it's vent. Therefore the shield volcano won't often be very tall, but it can have a very large base area
What is the water vapor content in the air?
It means how much water vapor is suspended in the air, or how humid it is.
How much of a apple is water?
the water content of an apple is 80% and the other 20% is air
How much of the human body is made up of water content?
About 70%
How much water content is in American cheese?
a million trillion zillion :)
