What is the relationship among drug trafficking, drug abuse, and other forms of crime?

If you travel due east or west does your latitude change?

Mumz [18]

Answer:

As long as you travel due east (or west), you will be flying along a line of latitude and you will not cross the equator. Nor is this a great circle. A great circle has its center at the center of the earth.

Great Circle.

Of course, if you start at the north or south pole, you won't be able to travel east or west so the question is undefined at those two points.

Edit: added amplifying information after comments added below.

No matter where you are on the earth, north always points to the north pole, and south always points to the south pole. East and west are perpendicular to those directions. If you point yourself due east and start walking, you will stay at the same latitude.

I think the confusion comes about because really, you cannot walk a straight line on the surface of a sphere. If you want to really travel in a straight line, you would travel off the surface. Think if you had a globe and you thumbtacked one end of a rubber band down on the surface, the only true straight lines will go off the surface. If you lay it along the surface, the rubber band curves along the surface, which is not straight.

So this question is about what if you are moving in what seems like a straight line to you from wherever you are on the earth. Let's try this thought experiment:

Imagine you are one step away from the north pole. Also imagine that there is really short pole at the north pole. You put out your left hand and place it on the pole. You then point yourself due east (which, by the way, is very problematic) and start walking. Your hand will stay on the pole as long as you are traveling east. But you can't walk in a "straight line" and keep your hand on the pole. In fact, it won't be long before you are actually travelling very nearly due south. Then of course you will cross the equator. This actually would be a great circle.

So, you see, it depends on what you mean by a straight line. Do you think lines of latitude are straight lines? Then if you follow that line, you are walking a straight line. Do you think great circle routes are straight lines? Then if you follow one you are walking a straight line. Or if you think the only solution is the true straight line which will take you off the planet then you will not cross the equator (not counting for the earth revolving around the sun and moving underneath you after you start).

This amplifies my original answer a lot, so I will add it to my answer.

Use the political cartoon to draw inferences as to what you believe the word imperialism means. What is happening in the picture

Mariana [72]

Answer:

In the picture, England, (or United Kingdom) is occupying countries and geographical regions in order to expropriate all of its resources. Some countries or islands are closer to its hands (Ireland) which means it basically became the part of UK. Other countries are trying to mantain its sovereignty.

Explanation:

Imperialism is a political doctrine which made the United Kingdom as wealthy as it is today. It is a first empire who conquered most of the world in XVIII and XIX century. Imperialism basically means colonization of land and extraction of its resources. It also means putting those countries in dependent position from UK, because the ties between these countries are so strong that if UK were about to leave these lands, they would soon be bankrupt and desent into civil war. This is why the political anti-colonial and national movements were important in those countries in order to free themselves from the chains of UK. In the terms of resources, labor power and slavery also had an enormous importance for the development of UK, and later USA.

Which statement BEST describes the effects of the Stono Rebellion of 1739? A) South Carolina banned the importation of slaves. B

lesya [120]

Answer:

A). South Carolina banned the importation of slaves.

Explanation:

South Carolina banned the exportation of slaves because they decided that the behavior of their slaves should be controlled. The Stono Rebellion was a terrible event where many slaves and inhabitants of South Carolina died, so the slaves were punished with extremely hard works, and they were denied the right to learn how to read or write.
