MakcuM [25]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The US is a representative government solely because we have elected officials to represent the people's interests such as Legislators, Governors, and the President.

Explanation:

A direct, democracy means that the people are directly involved in the decision making process and are actually making the decisions. In a representative democracy, the people elect officials to make the decisions for that institution.

When studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. For example, cultural causespolit
andrew-mc [135]

When studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. For example, <u>cultural causes</u> reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. Another resource that historians use to understand society is <u>pop culture</u>, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. When studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember <u>multiple causation</u>, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

The correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. Culture is determined by literature, art, music.

The correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

The correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.

Place the technology advancements in the order in which they emerged. Tiles the first school of oceanic navigation Ptolemy’s map
rjkz [21]

Here's the order:

  1. Ptolemy's map of the world
  2. the first school of oceanic navigation
  3. Portuguese caravels with triangular sails

Details:

Ptolemy (ca. 100-150 AD) was an astronomer, mathematician and geographer in the Roman Empire era.  Ptolemy's map of the world was a map based on descriptions in Ptolemy's book, <em>Geography, </em>which dates back to around the year 150 AD.

Prince Henry the Navigator started the first school for oceanic navigation at Sagres, Portugal, for training in navigation, map-making, and science. The date of founding of the school (and even full details about it) are a bit uncertain, but it seems to have been established in about 1418.  Prince Henry was called "The Navigator" because of his strong support for sending out ocean exploration voyages.

Caravels were developed by the Portuguese around the middle of the 15th century (around 1450).  These more agile ships were better suited to ocean sailing than previous ship models used in the calmer waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
