Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish astronomer monk of the Renaissance who formulated the heliocentric theory of the solar system, conceived in the first instance by Aristarchus of Samos. His book "On the revolutions of the celestial spheres" is usually considered the starting point of modern astronomy, as well as being a key piece in what was called the Scientific Revolution at the time of the Renaissance. Copernicus spent about twenty-five years working on the development of his heliocentric model of the universe. At that time it was difficult for scientists to accept it, since it was a real revolution.

Historians believe it wasn’t the change in the weather that produced the first plentiful harvest for the Pilgrims in Plymouth co

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Private property

Explanation:

Realising the extinction of the entire community, the elders of the colony decided to try something radically different: the introduction of private property and the right of the individual families to keep the fruits of their own labor.

The Plymouth Colony experienced a great bounty of food. Private ownership meant that there was now a close link between work and reward. Industry became the order of the day as the men and women in each family went to the fields on their separate private farms. When the harvest time came, not only did many families produce enough for their own needs, but they had surpluses that they could freely exchange with their neighbors for mutual benefit and improvement.

svp [43]

The correct answer is b. - tsunamis.

Tsunami is a Japanese word meaning harbor wave.

Tsunamis are giant waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea. This usually happens deep out in the ocean. The earth movement causes a displacement of water in the form of a large ripple which begins to move inland at tremendous speed.

There is no dramatic increase in height of the wave, but as it moves toward the coast, it builds up to a higher and higher height as the ocean becomes shallower and shallower till when it makes land fall, the wave may be dozens of feet high.
