The Earth's precession has caused the North Pole to point to other stars besides Polaris in the past
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

<u>True</u>

Explanation:

  • The spinning of the earth on its axis has led to the stars to travel across the sky in a circular direction, as when you reach the north pole the stars appear directly above us as the atmosphere is less dense and more clear.
  • This is defined as the axial precession is slow, gravity-induced and changes in the order of astronomical body rotation. Also known as the precession of the equinoxes, discovered in 1929.
  • Polaris being a north pole star, the brightest star in the constellation. Standing almost motionless in the northern hemisphere. And s about 433 light-years away from being a yellow supergiant it's in precession with that of earth. It is 2.5 brighter than today as in Ptolemy time.

A clay that loses nearly all of its shear strength after being disturbed is called a(n)?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

A clay that loses nearly all of its shear strength after being disturbed is called a(n) sensitive clay.

Clay is a material similar to natural earth but fine grain. The meaning of the word clay is "sticky". The slip is a clay in liquid suspension used as a binding agent, as enamel for stoneware and electrical insulators or slip sheets are used in decoration.Clays may be described as sensitive when the undisturbed strength is greater than the disturbed (remoulded) strength, where the remoulded material can behave as a fluid.

Sensitivity is defined as the ratio of the undisturbed shear strength and the disturbed shear strength.Clay soil has a thick and swooping composition. Blackland prairies have a unique characteristic of black and heavy clay soils because of the marine chalks, limestones, and shale that are found in its composition. When soils reach major rivers and tributaries its compositions changes into a more sandy soil
