20. The diagram below represents equal masses of two identical rock samples. Sample A is one large block,
while sample B was cut into four smaller blocks of
equal size.

Sample A
Sample B
If subjected to the same environmental conditions,
sample B will weather more quickly than sample A.
The best explanation for this is that the
A) volume of sample B is greater than that of
sample A
B) density of sample A is greater than that of
sample B
C) hardness of sample A is greater than that of
sample B
D) surface area of sample B is greater than that of
sample A

there's multiple reasons why the conquistadors were so successful in colonizing central america, and some of them are:

- they were seen as gods;

at the beginning, the spanish settlers were seen by the natives as gods, and this was mainly due to their white skin, and the way they came with their boats.

- possessed superior weaponry;

the spanish had gunpowder and guns, as well as cannons, while the natives did not had any fire weapons.

- made cleaver alliances;

they used the situation of tribes hating each other, so they made alliances with some of them which served them very well.

- brought diseases;

the native people were not immune to certain diseases the europeans brought with them, so they were dying from seeming harmless things for european standards.
