Answer:
Tristan da Cunha
Explanation:
Tristan da Cunha is the most remote inhabited island in the world
, the world was made up of a single continent through most of geologic
time. That continent eventually separated and drifted apart, forming
into the seven continents we have today. The first comprehensive theory
of continental drift was suggested by the German meteorologist Alfred Wegener
in 1912. The hypothesis asserts that the continents consist of lighter
rocks that rest on heavier crustal material—similar to the manner in
which icebergs float on water. Wegener contended that the relative
positions of the continents are not rigidly fixed but are slowly
moving—at a rate of about one yard per century.
Answer:
Iceland and Norway put more value on HDI factors.
Resources for any country are finite and there is a balance between GPD and HDI.
Iceland and Norway are not as focused on business as the United States.
The United States places more value on work and business than on HDI factors.
<u>Answer:</u>
Ptolemy accounted for 'retrograde motion' in his model of the solar system by introducing smaller circles named 'epicycles'.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- According to Ptolemy, the Sun and the other planets in the Solar system orbited around the Earth.
- The Greeks were convinced that Ptolemy's earlier model did not provide for backward or the retrograde motion.
- Ptolemy thought over it for a while and theorized the possibility of 'epicycles'.
- According to Ptolemy, the planets that orbited Earth also orbited another smaller point.
- The smaller orbits followed by the planets while in motion around the Earth in a larger orbit were introduced by Ptolemy as 'epicycles'.
- Until Kepler proposed his models of the functioning of the Solar system, Ptolemy's models were considered the most relevant.
I would say B. Ever hear the phrase, "warm air rises"?
