FIRST TO ANSWER GETS BRIANLEIST AND THIS IS WORTH 30 POPINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Answer 1

U realise that the point number is 15 not 30?

But here is an answer!

Every storm cloud has a silver lining; in the case of space weather, that lining is the aurora borealis, more commonly known as the Northern Lights. (Viewers in the southern hemisphere are treated to an equivalent version called the aurora australis, or Southern Lights.) The phenomenon is best observed on a clear, cold night around the spring or autumn equinox. Find an open patch of sky well away from the interfering lights of the city, and you may catch a glimpse of the spectacle: curtains of pale light-green and blue, sometimes red or violet-shimmering above the northern horizon for minutes or even hours at a time.

Auroras occur when electrons and protons from the Sun strike gas molecules in Earth's upper atmosphere. As the solar particles encounter Earth's magnetosphere, they are drawn along the magnetic field lines and funneled toward the North and South poles. There, high above Earth's surface, they collide with atmospheric molecules, energizing them and causing them to glow. The colors that result depend on the gas molecules involved. The brightest and most common auroral color, a brilliant yellow-green, is produced by the glow of oxygen molecules roughly 60 miles above Earth. Ionized nitrogen molecules emit blue light when hit by solar particles; neutral nitrogen molecules emit a purplish-red light. All-red auroras are rare; they are caused by the glow of oxygen atoms 200 miles above Earth. The size and intensity of the aurora varies from night to night, and moment to moment, depending on the strength of the solar wind. On April 6, 2001, a large geomagnetic storm produced an aurora that was seen as far south as Alabama. The scientific understanding of auroras has advanced enormously in recent years with the launch of satellites designed expressly to study them. Instruments aboard NASA's Polar spacecraft monitor ultraviolet radiation and chemical changes in the upper atmosphere, effectively offering an up-to-the-minute report on the shape and intensity of the aurora. The Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Exploration (IMAGE) spacecraft, launched in 2000, studies Earth's magnetosphere in astounding detail. It can watch auroras evolve over a period of hours, and can even see auroras flickering in the far-ultraviolet wavelength. Recently and for the first time, scientists observed a phenomenon known as "black auroras." A black aurora isn't really an aurora at all: it's the dark, empty space within a colorful aurora where one would otherwise expect auroral activity to be visible. Nonetheless, black auroras exhibit distinct patterns, including curls, rings and writhing black patches. Nowadays, scientists often can forecast a spectacular aurora hours or days in advance, so it's worth checking space weather websites (See Related Links) with some regularity.

In the 1970s, with the aid of the Hubble Space Telescope, it became apparent that Earth is not the only planet with auroras. On both Jupiter and Saturn, auroras appear pink due to the large amounts of hydrogen in those planets' atmospheres. Jupiter's aurora has proved to be particularly intriguing. On Earth, the aurora is powered by a barrage of charged particles from the Sun. On Jupiter, auroras are generated instead by volcanic particles from the Jovian moon Io. These particles become ionized, expand and then are trapped in Jupiter's tremendous magnetic field. Rotating once every ten hours, Jupiter generates auroras many times more powerful than those on Earth. However, Earth's auroras remain unique in one respect: they are (at times, anyway) green. Indeed, Earth is the only known planet with green auroras, because it is the only known planet with an oxygen-rich atmosphere. As scientists look deeper into the universe for signs of other, potentially habitable worlds, auroras are one clue they examine. If a distant, unknown planet has shimmering green auroras, that's a strong indication that its atmosphere is rich in oxygen, perhaps enough to support life. Whether that life is capable of appreciating the auroras—well, that's another issue.

• Do you think the Great Compromise created a functional and fair representative congress?

Answers

Answer: I believe that the final version of the US Constitution created a balanced political system. Unlike many others at the time, the Constitution created a way that each branch could control and avoid that any other power had too much power.

The American Federation is a good way to balance power because it gives just enough each government needs. The Federal government, at the time of the final version of the Constitution, did not have as much power as it has now. But still is a balanced government system.

The Great Compromise created a functional representation system, with two houses the states and the population are able to be represented and have their interests defended.

How did the Ming dynasty use bureaucracies and the use of military to gain centralized control?

Answers

The Ming dynasty used basic governmental structure using bureaucracies and the military to gain centralized control by the subsequent Qing (Manchu) dynasty that lasted until the imperial institution was abolished in 1911/12.

The civil service system was perfected during the Ming and then became stratified; almost all the top Ming officials entered the bureaucracy by passing a government examination.

In 1644 a rebel leader, Li Zicheng, captured Beijing, and the local Ming military commander requested aid from the Manchu tribal peoples who had been encroaching on China’s northern borders.

*Hope this helps!

The Ming dynasty used basic government structures and bureaucracies along with the use of military power to gain centralized control.

Write about the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming dynasty, officially known as the Great Ming, controlled China from 1368 to 1644 after the Yuan dynasty was overthrown by the Mongols. The Ming dynasty, the nation's penultimate orthodox dynasty, was ruled by the Han people, the majority ethnic group in China.

The restoration of the City Walls to their former splendor, significant naval expeditions, brisk maritime commerce, and the emergence of a fully monetized economy are among the notable Ming accomplishments.

While interior rebellions and interethnic conflicts underneath the conditions of economic crises were the principal human factors leading to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, the heavy droughts and severe locusts against the cold background have been the primary natural causes of the downfall of the Ming Dynasty.

DESCRIBE two reasons the Western Roman empire fell

Answers

Answer: Invasions by Barbarian tribes. Economic troubles and overreliance on slave labor. Overexpansion and military overspending.

Explanation: The most straightforward theory for Western Rome's collapse pins the fall on a string of military losses sustained against outside forces. Rome had tangled with Germanic tribes for centuries, but by the 300s “barbarian” groups like the Goths had encroached beyond the Empire's borders. Rome fell through a gradual process because poor economic policies led to a weakened military which allowed the barbarians easy access to the empire. In the third century, Rome's emperors embraced harmful economic policies which led to Rome's decline.

What is early Chinese civilization?

The Shang dynasty was one of the earliest Chinese civilizations. The Shang dynasty emerged as the first true Chinese dynasty in the 17th century BCE. The ancient Shang developed complex forms of irrigation and flood control to protect against flooding caused by the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers.

Along the Yellow River, early Chinese farmers established small villages. The rich yellow soil was ideal for growing millet, a grain. This region's farmers also raised sheep and cattle. The Yangtze River flows in the same direction as the Yellow River (west to east).

Therefore, rivers enabled the early Chinese to give up their nomadic existence.
