Beginning about 70 million years ago, pressure from colliding tectonic plates pushed up the land from what is now Colorado to northern Mexico. These forces eventually formed the Rocky Mountain range. About 30 million years ago, the plates began pulling in the opposite direction, stretching the crust to form mountains and low-lying basins along fault lines. The Tularosa Basin and its surrounding Sacramento and San Andres mountains formed at this time. Two to three million years ago, the ancient Rio Grande river began to flow along the southern edge of the Tularosa Basin, and only for approximately the last 12,000 years has the basin been inhabited by human groups.

Official Solution:
Earlier settler groups exhibited more limited forms of inhabitance than did later ones.
• This statement is True. Tab 3 shows that earlier groups, such as the Paleoindians, were nomadic hunters with no fixed dwellings, trade, or plant use. Later groups adopted more varied and permanent forms of inhabitance: the Hunter-Gatherers began relying more on plants for food, settled near water sources, and traded with others; the Jornada Mogollon lived in permanent structures and produced pottery. This progression supports the inference that earlier groups exhibited more limited forms of inhabitance than later ones.
Certain groups of settlers have a more definitive date of entry or exit from the region than do others.
• This statement is True. While some groups have broad or uncertain entry or exit dates, the Jornada Mogollon are said to have disappeared in 1350 AD, with that date considered accurate. So it can be inferred that certain groups have more definitive entry or exit dates than others.
Humans are not the only non-native species found in the basin today.
• This statement is True. Tab 3 says that horses and cattle left behind by Spanish Colonials sired wild herds that still live in the basin today. These animals were introduced and are still present, so humans are not the only non-native species found in the basin today.
Correct answer:
Earlier settler groups exhibited more limited forms of inhabitance than did later ones. "True"
Certain groups of settlers have a more definitive date of entry or exit from the region than do others. "True"
Humans are not the only non-native species found in the basin today. "True"

Spanish Colonials (1536 AD – 1800s AD): Explorers who came in search of fabled cities of gold. Although no gold was found, the horses and cattle they left behind gave rise to wild herds that still exist in the region today.
They are referred to as explorers. No evidence is given for them about settling, instead it's mentioned that no gold was found, so they left rather than them settling and getting removed from the area due to some other reason.
