Luxembourgish, a language unique to Luxembourg, is most closely related to which other language?
12345 [234]
<span>German and French are the most spoken
and aprox... 390,000 people worldwide speak Luxembourgish.

Luxembourgish is also spoken in small parts of the surrounding countries of Belgium (in the Province of Luxembourg near Arlon), France (in small parts of the Lorraine) and Germany (around Bitburg and Trier). In Germany and Lorraine it is simply considered the local German dialect. Since the Second World War, however, the language has not been taught in these countries, with the result that use of Luxembourgish is largely restricted to the older generations.

Furthermore, the language is spoken by a few descendants of Luxembourg immigrants in the United States, and a closely related variety is spoken by ethnic Germans long settled in Transylvania, Romania (Siebenbürgen). </span>

Would happen if we did not experience gravity here on earth or within our solar system?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Weightlessness.

A breakdown in the Universe as objects would move out of their orbits.

Muscle athropy and osteoporosis

Explanation:

All objects would move freely in space and also on earth. Due to this loss of mass, the human body's bones and muscles will have no weight on them hence leading to them shrinking. On a larger scale there will be no orbits to hold planets and other celestial bodies in place.

Contrast the physical features of the high and low islands of the Pacific. Why would geographers separate the Pacific
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The high islands of the Pacific were formed by seismic activity whereas the low islands of the Pacific were formed by coral growth. Continental islands and oceanic islands were formed by volcanic activity.

High islands often have fertile soils and lush rainforests. In contrast, low islands are often less fertile than high islands. Some low islands lack freshwater sources.
