which of the following explains, While in an airplane flying over the midwestern United States, your friend Amare looks out the window and sees what appear to be hills of earth formed in the shape of animals. Amare cannot believe his eyes. He asks you about these amazing, gigantic pieces of artwork. What would you teach Amare about to help him understand what he is observing out the window?

Question

effigy mounds
Nazca Lines
geoglyphs
hieroglyphs

Answer 1

You would teach Amare about effigy mounds. Effigy mounds are earthen mounds built by Native American cultures in the Midwest, particularly in Wisconsin and Iowa, between 800 and 1200 AD. These mounds are constructed in the shape of animals or symbols and were used for ceremonial or burial purposes. They are considered to be a form of monumental art and are protected as archaeological sites today.
