Geography

Ratling [72]3 years ago
6 0

The Alps are a very high mountain range, which is also very dangerous in every time of the year, but especially during the winter. In the antiquity, without having any modern day equipment, Hannibal tried to cross this mountain range in order to enter the Roman Empire and attack Rome.

There were lot of problems that Hannibal and his troops faced because of this move. The temperatures were very low, and lot of people suffered and died from hypothermia, as well as the war elephants that were not able to sustain the freezing temperatures. The Alps do not offer proper shelter, especially not for large mass of people, which contributed to the previously mentions hypothermia. Also, a lack of food was a huge problem, as in winter there's pretty much nothing on the Alps that can provide food, apart from hunting wild animals, but there's not dense populations of them, so the malnutrition caused weakening of the people as well as being more prone to sickness.

All in all, Hannibal's army was decimated after the crossing of the Alps.

In the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, the Coriolis effect changes the direction of wind circulation, affecting the weather.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The arrows of circulation that most affect the US climate are the arrows on the left side of the northern hemsphere. In the attached image below you can see these cetas highlighted by a pink square.

Explanation:

As shown in the question above, the Coriolis Effect is an atmospheric phenomenon that modifies the direction of wind circulation in the terrestrial globe, completely modifying the climate of the regions. This phenomenon occurs due to the rotation of the earth on its own axis, which has the ability to create a reference system for this rotation.

The Coriolis effect has the ability to change the direction of winds within the hemispheres. This causes winds in the southern hemisphere to turn clockwise while winds in the northern hemisphere turn counterclockwise.

The US is located in the northern hemisphere, on the left side of the globe, as shown in the attached figure below.

How and why did absolute and limited monarchies form?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer: They originated in Europe after the Middle Ages.

Explanation:

Absolute monarchies arose under the absolute rule of kings. The best example of an absolutist monarchy and rule is France and its King Louis XIV. The king removed all obstacles to have complete control over the state. He surrounded himself with proven and obedient people and thus ensured absolute rule.

An example of a limited monarchy can be found in England. The parliament decides a country in which there is a king but no absolute power, but the country's political situation. A limited monarchy is the British's effort to avoid complete control of one man in the state.
