- How he stated the earth movement was that the earth is among the natural bodies that moves circularly
Galileo is known to be the Father of Experimental Science. He carried out scientific experiments to test his theories of motion of objects and mechanics.
It was stated in his "Treatise on the Tides," a paper in 1616, that he used a diagram to explain the earths movement. He stated that the Earth revolves in a counterclockwise direction both on its axis.

With the onset of the bitter winter cold, the Continental Army under General George Washington, still in the field, enters its winter camp at Valley Forge, 22 miles from British-occupied Philadelphia. Washington chose a site on the west bank of the Schuylkill River that could be effectively defended in the event of a British attack.
During 1777, Patriot forces under General Washington suffered major defeats against the British at the battles of Brandywine and Germantown; Philadelphia, the capital of the United States, fell into British hands. The particularly severe winter of 1777-1778 proved to be a great trial for the American army, and of the 11,000 soldiers stationed at Valley Forge, hundreds died from disease. However, the suffering troops were held together by loyalty to the Patriot cause and to General Washington, who stayed with his men. As the winter stretched on, Prussian military adviser Frederick von Steuben kept the soldiers busy with drills and training in modern military strategy.
When Washington’s army marched out of Valley Forge on June 19, 1778, the men were better disciplined and stronger in spirit than when they had entered. Nine days later, they won a victory against the British under Lord Cornwallis at the Battle of Monmouth in New Jersey.
The development of spoken language might have influenced the religious beliefs of Stone Age people, as <span>B. Spoken language would have allowed religious beliefs to spread more quickly. Although the spoken language may have made people more suspicious of outsiders, it would not necessarily mean that that suspicion would influence their religious belief, so not A. Although spoken language would eventually create a new class of religious leaders, it would probably not have influenced everybody, as not all people would have the same amount of articulation, so not C. And not D, as cave paintings would have been a form of visual communication.</span>
