Currently, the earth's rate of rotation around its own axis is 24 hours: this determines the length of a day and if the rotation would increase, the day would be shorter.

Did you know that the rate actually decreases with time? the day now is about 1 millisecond longer now than in 1900!

NEED HELP ASAP PLZ 30 points!!!<br> How do I describe the geography of Saint Petersburg Florida?
spayn [35]

Answer:

St. Petersburg is located on the Pinellas Peninsula in southernmost Pinellas County. It is surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico to the west and Tampa Bay to the east. To the north, the city borders Clearwater. The 345 miles of shoreline around the peninsula include the resort communities of Clearwater Beach, Dunedin, Indian Rocks Beach, Redington/Bellaire Beach, Madeira Beach, St. Petersburg, St. Pete Beach, Safety Harbor, Tarpon Springs, and Treasure Island. The Sunshine Skyway bridge spans Tampa Bay to connect St. Petersburg with Manatee County to the south. More than 20 barrier islands buffer the Pinellas Peninsula from the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in a calm surf ideal for family water activities.

The most widely accepted theory among scientists is that the last place humans migrated to was the Americas. Europe. South Asia.
adelina 88 [10]

The correct answer is - the Americas.

The Americas from what is known and discovered till now are by far the latest continents that were settled by the people. Even though it is still not clear when exactly did this happened it is in the range between 19,000 and 12,000 years ago as the biggest given and lowest given number by scientists. It is understandable though that people found it hard to migrate in this part of the world since it was cut of by an ocean and the only way that they could migrate was through the Bering Land Bridge which in fact was an icy bridge between the continents and extremely inhospitable place. There is also the large carnivores in North America as a factor that delayed the migration, and of course the ongoing ice age which covered huge portions of North America with glaciers, ice and snow.

The Soviet leader who began glasnost and perestroika was _____.
brilliants [131]

Answer:  Mikhail Gorbachev

Explanation:

In March 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev proposed policies of<em> perestroika </em>(restructuring) and <em>glasnost </em>(openness) in the Soviet Union.  These seemed like policies that leaned in the direction of Western ways of economics and politics.  <em>Perestroika </em>meant allowing some measure of private enterprise in the Soviet Union.  <em>Glasnost </em>meant allowing a bit of freedom in regard to speech and publication.   But don't get the idea that Gorbachev was trying to get rid of the Soviet communist system.  He actually was trying to prop it up and preserve it, because it was starting to have many problems sustaining itself.  But in the end, opening things up a bit with <em>perestroik</em>a and <em>glasnost </em>policies only pushed the USSR further in the direction of shedding the communist model under which it had lived for so long.
