research suggests.minerals taken from belizes famous underwater cave, known as the blue hole, as well as lagoons(环礁湖) nearby, show that an extreme drought occurred between 800 ad and 1000 ad, right when the mayan civilization ended. after the rains returned, the mayans moved northbut they disappeared again a few centuries later, and that disappearance occurred at the same time as another dry period, the sediments(沉积物) reveal.although the findings arent the first to tie a drought to the end of the mayan culture, the new results strengthen the case that dry periods were indeed the cause.thats because the data come from several spots in a region central to the mayan heartland, said study coauthor andr droxler, an earth scientist at rice university.from 300 ad to 700 ad, the mayan civilization flourished in the yucatan peninsula(尤卡坦半岛)these ancient mesoamericans built great pyramids, mastered astronomy, and developed both a writing system and a calendar system, which is famous for predicting that the world would end in 2012.but in the centuries after 700 ad, the civilizations building activities slowed and the culture fell into war and unrest.the evidence for a drought has been growing in recent years. a 2012 study in the journal science analyzed a 2 000yearold stalagmite(石笋) from a cave in southern belize and found that sharp decreases in rainfall coincided with periods of decline in the culture.but the data came from just one cave, which meant it was difficult to make predictions for the area as a whole, droxler said.to look for signs of drought, the team drilled the sediments in the blue hole of lighthouse lagoon, as well as one in the rhomboid reef.the lagoons surrounded on all sides by thick walls of coral reef. during storms or wetter periods, excess water runs off from rivers and streams, overtops the retaining walls, and is deposited in a thin layer at the top of the lagoon.from there, all the sediments from these streams settle to the bottom of the lagoon, piling on top of each other and leaving a record of the historical climate.the team found that during the period between 800 ad and 1000 ad, when the mayan civilization collapsed, there were just one or two tropical cyclones(气旋) every two decades, as opposed to the usual five or six.after that, the mayans moved north, building at sites such as chichen itza, in what is now mexico.语篇导读本文为说明文。新研究发现：古玛雅文明的消失与长达一个世纪的干旱有关。1what happened after an extreme drought between 800 ad and 1000 ad?athe mayans were suffering a heavy flood.bthe mayans suddenly disappeared from
