Answer:
There is a whole bunch of energy trans formation taking place, layers and layers in fact:
First an elecric motor transforms electricity into kinetic energy and thermal energy.That motor turns a magnatron converting producing a specific band width of microwaves particularly well tuned to heating water molecules.
Those microwaves are doing all sorts of stuff:
Most are bouncing off the reflective surface of the fan blades attached to the motor/magnatron assembly and walls of the appliance but some of them are absorbed increasing the energy level and heat of the molecules of those surfaces (kinetic and thermal energy).
Then most of those bounced microwaves hit the food or food vessel the food is in. Some of those photons are absorbed being transferred to kinetic and thermal radiation at a new wave length and some go on their merry way.
Some of those microwaves pass by water molecules which, because water molecules have a polar charge, start spinning, causing transfer of em energy to kinetic energy and then kinetic energy to thermal energy. So again you get kinetic and thermal effects.
What give microwave cooking its unique characteristcs is the interplay between mucrowaves and water in the food. Microwaves are very, very efficient at heating water. So when you microwave food you are effectively steaming the food in its own juices.

The word blitzkrieg means "rapid attack" in German, from blitz, or "lightning," paired with krieg, or "war."
At the annual party rally held in Nuremberg in 1935, the Nazis announced new laws which institutionalized many of the racial theories prevalent in Nazi ideology. The laws excluded German Jews from Reich citizenship and prohibited them from marrying or having sexual relations with persons of "German or related blood." Ancillary ordinances to the laws disenfranchised Jews and
The Enlighment movement emerged in Europe during the 18th century and it was constituted by philosophers that promoted Reason and the scientific method over medieval superstition and religious dogmas, and the establishment of democratic societies where the power resided on its people, and not in monarchs or rulers "appointed by God". The resulting states that emerged based on the principles of this movement, enacted bills of civil rights for the first time in history, and implemented principles such as the division of powers or the social contract, through which citizens elected their governors by suffrage.
Such Enlightment principles were transferred to the American colonies, where the population claimed for political representation rather than being governed by foreigners that were appointed by a foreign king. Such claims were ignored and the colonies, influenced by the new democratic principles, started several revolutionary movements for independence aiming to establish new states based on the Enlightment principles such as in Europe.

Explanation:
From the Amazon basin in the north and west to the Brazilian Highlands in the southeast, Brazil's topography is quite diverse. The Amazon River system carries more water to the ocean than any other river system in the world. It is navigable for its entire 2,000-mile trip within Brazil. The basin is home to the most rapidly depleting rain forest in the world, losing about 52,000 square miles annually. The basin, occupying more than 60% of the entire country, receives more than 80 inches (about 200 cm) of rain a year in some areas. Almost all of Brazil is humid as well and has either has a tropical or subtropical climate. Brazil's rainy season occurs during the summer months. Eastern Brazil suffers from regular drought. There is little seismic or volcanic activity due to Brazil's position near the center of the South American Plate.
The Brazilian Highlands and plateaus generally average less than 4,000 feet (1,220 meters) but the highest point in Brazil is Pico de Neblina at 9,888 feet (3,014 meters). Extensive uplands lie in the southeast and drop off quickly at the Atlantic Coast. Much of the coast is composed of the Great Escarpment, which looks like a wall from the ocean.
