Answer:

In 1970 South Africa has more than 75% reserve of world gold under it soil but by 1985 it has depleted to 6%.

South Africa today has world largest reserve of platinum with over 78% in 2005.

In the same vein, South Africa has large deposit of Chromium.

A young child’s inability to experience or appreciate anyone else’s point of view is called ________.
kramer

A young child's inability to experience or appreciate anyone else's point of view is known as egocentrism as children have a typical tendency to relate everything that occurs to themselves.

The inability to distinguish between self and other is referred to as egocentrism. It is the inability to accurately assume or comprehend any perspective other than one's own.  Egocentrism can be found at any age: infancy, early childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.  

Although egocentric behaviors are less common in adults, the presence of some forms of egocentrism in adults suggests that overcoming egocentrism may be a lifelong process that never ends. Adults appear to be less egocentric than children because they correct more quickly from an initially egocentric perspective than children, not because they are less likely to adopt an egocentric perspective in the first place.

What event ended the Space Race? Who won?
Anna [14]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

The Space Race is a term used to define the competition between the Soviet Union and the USA, the two Cold War opponents. The competition between the two countries was sought to prove the supremacy of technology, military power, political, and economic power.

The Space Race between the two began with the launch of Sputnik into space by Russia. The Space Race between the two countries ended with the landing of a man on the moon. This historical event was made possible with the landing of American astronauts on 16th July 1969. Thus moon-landing by the USA's NASA ended the Space Race.

Therefore, option B is correct.
