Answer: a few islands that were formed millions of years ago by volcanic activity

Japan is an island nation, it is a stratovolcanic archipelago composed of about 1,042 islands, and more than 2,000 islets that extend along the east Asian coast of the Pacific Ocean.

 This country is located in one of the geologically most unstable and complex areas of the Earth: the Pacific Ring of Fire, therefore it is a highly seismic zone.

What are contributions of Ancient Africa? <br><br> Please state at least 3...
elixir [45]
Surely only a few of us know that many modern high-school-level concepts in mathematics first were developed in Africa, as was the first method of counting. More than 35,000 years ago, Egyptians scripted textbooks about math that included division and multiplication of fractions and geometric formulas to calculate the area and volume of shapes (3). Distances and angles were calculated, algebraic equations were solved and mathematically based predictions were made of the size of floods of the Nile. The ancient Egyptians considered a circle to have 360 degrees and estimated Π at 3.16 (3).

Eight thousand years ago, people in present-day Zaire developed their own numeration system, as did Yoruba people in what is now Nigeria. The Yoruba system was based on units of 20 (instead of 10) and required an impressive amount of subtraction to identify different numbers. Scholars have lauded this system, as it required much abstract reasoning (4).

Astronomy
Several ancient African cultures birthed discoveries in astronomy. Many of these are foundations on which we still rely, and some were so advanced that their mode of discovery still cannot be understood. Egyptians charted the movement of the sun and constellations and the cycles of the moon. They divided the year into 12 parts and developed a yearlong calendar system containing 365 ¼ days (3). Clocks were made with moving water and sundial-like clocks were used (3).

A structure known as the African Stonehenge in present-day Kenya (constructed around 300 B.C.) was a remarkably accurate calendar (5). The Dogon people of Mali amassed a wealth of detailed astronomical observations (6). Many of their discoveries were so advanced that some modern scholars credit their discoveries instead to space aliens or unknown European travelers, even though the Dogon culture is steeped in ceremonial tradition centered on several space events. The Dogon knew of Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s moons, the spiral structure of the Milky Way and the orbit of the Sirius star system. Hundreds of years ago, they plotted orbits in this system accurately through the year 1990 (6). They knew this system contained a primary star and a secondary star (now called Sirius B) of immense density and not visible to the naked eye.

Metallurgy and tools
Many advances in metallurgy and tool making were made across the entirety of ancient Africa. These include steam engines, metal chisels and saws, copper and iron tools and weapons, nails, glue, carbon steel and bronze weapons and art (2, 7).

Advances in Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda between 1,500 and 2,000 years ago surpassed those of Europeans then and were astonishing to Europeans when they learned of them. Ancient Tanzanian furnaces could reach 1,800°C — 200 to 400°C warmer than those of the Romans (8).

The correct answer is true. The constitution states that the people have the right to change the government as soon as it becomes destructive. This places the power to govern in the people's hands.

Which state capital was raised 10 feet from its original foundation?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

<u><em>Sacramento - Sacramento sits 30 feet above sea level today, but that wasn’t always the case. A portion of the California capital was given a 10-foot boost in the 1860s, thanks to the residents of the flood-prone city, who raised the entire original section of Sacramento to its current elevation by abandoning the ground floors of multi-story buildings and constructing sidewalks at the first-floor level. As new roadways were constructed, they too were elevated. You can see the only remaining section of the city’s original level in the sunken courtyard at the Old Sacramento tourist shopping center, across from the California State Railroad Museum.</em></u>
