What critical role did the Balkans play in the start of World War 1?

Licemer1 [7]3 years ago

The Balkans Campaign  of World War I was fought between the Central Powers, represented by Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany and the Ottoman Empire on one side and the Allies, represented by France, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, and the United Kingdom (and later Romania and Greece, who sided with the Allied Powers) on the other side. The Balkans were a cluster of nations in eastern Europe, between the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires. 2. Their location made the Balkans strategically important, so European powers were focused on events there. ... The Balkans were disrupted by two wars in 1912-13, as well as rising Serbian nationalist groups.

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in the Balkan city of Sarajevo provided the Austro-Hungarian government with a pretext for crushing Serbian nationalism, something it had long desired,
 while nobody seemed to much care about the assassination itself, Austria-Hungary had been looking for an excuse to wage a “preventative war” against Serbia as a state in order to weaken or destroy them so as to take back territory in the Balkans, which had been taken during the Balkan Wars.  They had not taken it back up to this point because they lacked Germany’s support;

How is energy from the sun distributed around earth?
amm1812
There are a few different answers to this question, depending on what you are asking. I'll go over the main ones.

1. The Earth's axis is tilted in comparison to the Sun, so days get shorter in the winter months. This is due to less light, and therefore energy, hitting the Earth directly. Instead, that energy either misses entirely, or hits nearer to the Equator. This is why the poles have twenty-four hour days and nights depending on the season. (Night in the winter, day in the summer.)

2. In terms of the food chain, energy from the sun is converted to basic sugars by plants in a process known as photosynthesis, inside the plant's cloroplasts. Small animals such as mice and insects consume the plants, and the energy those plants converted from sunlight. This continues up the food chain until you get to apex-predators (tigers, bears, wolves, owls, etcetera).

3. In terms of electricity, solar panels are made of tons of 'solar cells' which tend to be lots of silicon atoms, which like to share electrons, and a conductive backing. (Pardon me if some of this section is incorrect, I only have a basic understanding of solar panels) When a photon (that is, a light particle) hits the silicon, it bumps off an electron, and the conductive backing catches it, resulting in a electrical current. This current is incredibly small per solar cell, so you need a ton of them to make any sort of useful power out of them. Solar panels do degrade over time, but incredibly slowly, there are some from the 1970's that still generate just as much power as they did originally (if not, only ever so slightly less).

I hope I answered what you needed to know! If you wanted a different answer, feel free to comment with some clarification and I would love to fill you in :)

Suppose that two stars in a binary star system are separated by a distance of 60 million kilometers and are located at a distanc
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:The angular seperation is \theta =3.6\times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

For two objects separated by a distance 's' and at a distance 'd' from the observer the angular separation ignoring the physical effects is given by

\theta =\frac{s}{d}

In the given question

s=60\times 10^{6}km

d=180 light years

We know that in 1 light year there are 9.5\times 10^{12}km

Using the calculated values we get

\theta =\frac{60\times 10^{6}}{9.5\times 10^{12}}\\\\\theta = 6.315\times10^{-6}radians

Since π radians equals 180 degrees thus we have

\\\\\theta =\frac{6.315\times 10^{-6}\times 180}{\pi }degrees=3.6\times 10^{-4}degrees

Most asteroids are discovered
Goshia [24]

Answer:

B. when they impact Earth.

Explanation:

  • Asteroids are minor planet type rocky masses that are broken off and found in the inner solar system and also been called the inner planetoids as they are orbiting around the sun. They are similar to comets based on surface features.
  • Computerized methods are used to find out the presence of asteroids in the shy. The asteroid belt has tended to evolve in the nebula formation of the sun with the presence of heavy metals sinking in the ice cores leaving the rocky mineral in the crust. They are almost 1000 km to 1 meter wide and can be large as miniature planets  
  • However waste the majority of them are irregular in the shade the three largest asteroids are Ceres, Vesta, and Pallas that form a type of the dwarf planet.
