1 answer:

6 0

Canada was hit hard by the Great Depression. Between 1929 and 1939, the gross national product dropped 40% (compared to 37% in the US). Unemployment reached 27% at the depth of the Depression in 1933. Many businesses closed, as corporate profits of $396 million in 1929 turned into losses of $98 million in 1933. Families saw most or all of their assets disappear and their debts became heavier as prices fell. Canadian exports shrank by 50% from 1929 to 1933. Worst hit were areas dependent on primary industries such as farming, mining and logging, as prices fell and there were few alternative jobs.

Why can we see the moon during a full moon when it is behind the Earth

goldenfox [79]

We can see the moon during the full moon when it is behind the earth because of the way it orbits around the earth.

Explanation:

The moon orbit around the earth at a tilted angle to the orbit of the Earth around the sun.
Furthermore, during the full moon, the moon will exhibit either behind or at the top of the earth's shadow.
Because of the tilted orbit, when it is behind the earth's surface it is away from the earth's shadow with the exception during the Lunar eclipse.
During the Lunar eclipse, it is easier to see the earth's shadow as it slowly covers the moon's surface.
