Located almost due east of the Reflecting Pool and the Lincoln Memorial, the monument, made of marble, granite, and bluestone gneiss, is both the world's tallest stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk, standing 554 feet 7 11⁄32 inches (169.046 m) tall according to the National Geodetic Survey
The second assumption is that there is something exceptional about Africa, that while other continents and peoples have got or are getting richer, Africans, for reasons we can think but no longer speak in polite company, choose to remain in poverty. Our capacity to see Africa as divergent lets us off the hook so we don’t have to understand our own complicity in the challenges various African countries face today. It also means we rarely rage as we should against the actions of the corporations and governments that profit from instability, corruption or even inexperience (African negotiators at the climate talks have historically been disadvantaged by their lack of experience and the expectation among western negotiators that they should be grateful with whatever they get).
If there is, then, no innate propensity for corruption, violence or poverty in Africa, then the narratives that fuel the stereotypes need questioning. One possible explanation comes from the Nigerian author Chinua Achebe, who said: “The west seems to suffer deep anxieties about the precariousness of its civilisation and to have a need for constant reassurance by comparison with Africa.” Perhaps it’s not Africa that needs saving, but us.
Based on the model above, the location will experience rain shower.
The solid circle above the inverted triangle means rain and the inverted triangle means shower. The bigger circle in the middle indicates cloud cover and in the case presented, the location will experience 50% cloud cover. The symbol coming out of the bigger circle indicates the wind speed and direction so the wind speed will be 12-20 mph.
the answer is a
(context) There was an abundance of trees along riverbanks where sawmills were established.
(more context) I also took the test
The answer is B. In a destructive plate boundary, the descending plate, usually the oceanic plate begins to melt as it descends below into the mantle. This forms magma that rises and erupts onto the overlying continental plate through fissures. This volcanic activity is responsible for geographical features such as the volcanic island arc, which lies parallel to the subduction zone.
