Answer:

he Earth zips around the Sun at about 67,000 miles per hour, making a full revolution in about 365 days – one year on Earth. Mars is a little slower, and farther from the sun, so a full circuit takes 687 Earth days – or one Mars year.

1. Why is Central Asia often referred to as Turkestan? What does the suffix "stan”

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

1. The term stan means “land of,” so, for example, Uzbekistan is the land of the Uzbeks. Central Asia is also referred to as Turkestan. because of the Turkish influence in the region.

2. Kazakhstan

3. The Tengiz Basin around the northeast shores of the Caspian Sea is home to extensive petroleum reserves. Oil pipelines are expanding to transport the oil to port locations and other countries including China.

4. After irrigation projects diverted water from the Aral Sea it began to dry up and left behind salts, other minerals, and toxins in the soil. This has led to increased health problems like respiratory diseases and cancers.

5. The communist nation of China have millions of people working long hours with little pay everyday. So many corporations choose to have their factories in China because the production is fast and cheap.

6. Almost immediately following independence, the nation fell into civil war among various factions; often distinguished by clan loyalties. More than 500,000 residents fled during this time because of persecution, increased poverty and better economic opportunities in the West or in other former Soviet republics.

7. Russia has enjoyed rapid economic expansion. all former Soviet states have joined the Commonwealth of Independent States. Russia has experienced hyperinflation and economic contraction.

The period marked the end of many communist regimes in response to mass protests. End of cold war: End of arms race, end of ideological confrontations. Change in power equations: Unipolar world, capitalist ideology, IMF, World Bank.

Transformed Central Asia into a center for cotton and silk production, and relocated tens of thousands of people to the city from around the Soviet Union. The population also increased with thousands of ethnic Tajiks migrating to Tajikistan following the transfer of Bukhara and Samarkand to the Uzbek SSR.

It produced the upheaval in many Eastern European countries and led to increased crime rates and corruption within the Russian government.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Five Central Asian countries gained independence — Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. Relations between the steppe nomads and the settled people in and around Central Asia were marked by conflict.

8. In the recent past, during the 1980s, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) played a significant role in inserting U.S. influence in Afghanistan by funding military operations designed to frustrate the Soviet invasion of that country.

9. They swept through the country, destroying mujahedeen groups and imposing strict order. In 1996, the Taliban took the capital city of Kabul, and they ruled Afghanistan until 2001, when the US invaded. ... While urban areas were reformed, rural areas suffered, allowing the Taliban to resurge.

10. The main source of income in the country is agriculture, and during its good years, Afghanistan produces enough food and food products to provide for the people, as well as to create a surplus for export. The major food crops produced are: corn, rice, barley, wheat, vegetables, fruits and nuts.

Major events in trassic period

Yuri [45]

Answer:

Both the start and the end of the Triassic period is marked by some really interesting and important events. Major events were:

1. The major extinction event

2. Splitting of Pangaea

3. Expansion of animal life

4. Massive change and rejuvenation (appearance of Mammals)

Explanation:

The Triassic is a geologic period and system which took place 251 to 199 million years ago. The Triassic is the first and shortest period of the Mesozoic Era.

1. The major extinction event

Triassic period (and the Mesozoic era) didn’t exactly have such a glorious start. Violent volcanic eruptions, climate change, a fatal run-in with a comet/asteroid had set off the extinction of more than 90% of Earth’s species.

2. Splitting of Pangaea

By the start of the Triassic, Pangaea was already formed as a supercontinent shaped like a giant C. Almost as soon as the supercontinent formed, it started cracking. By the end of the Triassic period, 199 million years ago, tectonic forces had started splitting the supercontinent in two (Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south). The ocean called Tethys filled the “C” and that’s how the splitting of Pangaea started. Interesting thing to know is that earlier failed attempts of splitting formed rift valleys in North America and Africa that are today very rich in the best preserved fossils of Triassic life.

3. Expansion of animal life

There is a long list of animals that existed or first appeared in the Triassic period.

The oceans were filled with the coiled-shelled ammonites, mollusks, and sea urchins that survived the Permian extinction and were quickly diversifying. The first corals appeared! Although, some other reef-building organisms were already present.

Other amazing creatures were: dolphin-shaped ichthyosaurus, plesiosaurus, fish, ancient squid, phytoplankton (two of the major groups still in the ocean today first appeared), frogs, salamanders, crocodiles, turtles, snakes, pterosaurs (a group of flying reptiles), moss, ferns, spiders, scorpions, centipedes (thrived), grasshoppers (first appeared), etc. As I said, the list is very long.

4. Massive change and rejuvenation (appearance of Mammals)

Last but definitely not least characteristic of the Triassic is that it was the time of tremendous change and rejuvenation. Life that survived the so-called Great Dying repopulated the planet and gave rise to new creatures, such as rodent-size mammals and the first dinosaurs.

Perhaps the biggest changes came with the evolution of dinosaurs and the first mammals in the late Triassic, starting around 230 million years ago (Eozostrodon, Coelophysis, Plateosaurus)

The Triassic finished in the same way it began. Something, perhaps a volcanic belch or an asteroid collision caused another mass extinction. Dinosaurs, however, survived and went on to dominate the Jurassic. And the rest is history. :)
