N the great mosque (1. 9. 9) there are red and white stone wedges that make up the series of repeating arches that dominate the interior. these stone wedges are called voussoirs.

A voussoir is a wedge-shaped element, typically stone used to construct an arch or vault.

Each unit of Arch or Vault is a voussoir, but his two units of Keystone and Knight have different functional significance. Keystone is the central stone or masonry unit at the top of the arch. The jumper is the lowest blossom on either side where the curve of the arch begins at the vertical support or abutment of the wall or pier.

Keystones are often decorated or enlarged. 16 Mannerist arches of 1522 often show enlarged and sometimes slightly lowered keystones).

scoray [572]

Answer:

a) Renaissance

Explanation:

The Scientific Renaissance was a period of development of science (astronomy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, anatomy, etc.) that occurred during the Renaissance period (15th and 16th centuries). Thus, it represented a scientific revolution based on rationalism, which changed the way of seeing the world, that is, the mentality of people.

Thus, from the studies and discoveries of some scientists, this period allowed the advance of various fields of knowledge that would later inaugurate Modern Science. Note that the Renaissance were concerned with the study of nature, so that they valued reason rather than faith.

Although Leonardo da Vinci was one of the most important names in the Cultural and Artistic Renaissance, he was featured in the Scientific Renaissance alongside Nicolaus Copernicus, Andreas Vesalius and William Harvey.
