The discoveries of astronomers like Copernicus and Galileo

Geography
1 answer:
makvit [3.9K]3 years ago
4 0

The correct answer is - established that the universe was sun-centered, or heliocentric.

Copernicus and Galileo were two of the scientists that managed to make a huge difference with their theories and discoveries, and help a lot in the change of the societies and eventual loss of the rule of the church. While Copernicus only had theories that the universe is sun-centered, but no proofs, he was ridiculed, and his theories were not accepted at the time. Galileo though managed to create a telescope. With his invention, he managed to prove the theories of Copernicus, and since he had a proof, it was much easier for the theory to be accepted. It needed time though, as the church was trying to block his research and publications about any such thing, but eventually it got to the public, and with his invention being able to provide the people with the proof, the theory was accepted. While this theory is not totally right, it still managed to make a huge difference, and further researches started to take place gradually, constantly pushing the boundaries and putting the science in front of the theology.

Does slum dwellers own the land they live on?
amm1812
“One thing that is poorly understood is population growth in Africa,” says William Cobbett, director of Cities Alliance . “It is thought that populations are growing mainly because of urban migration. That’s not correct. Across the continent, the bulk of population growth comes from natural population growth. Undesa figures from 1950-2050 show that in the case of Uganda – the outlier – its population in one century will multiply 20 times. That has never happened in human history.” Tanzania will grow 18 times and Nigeria 10.5.
“Most local authorities don’t have the capacity to deal with this, so there is no forward planning to make provisions for this population growth, which we know is going to happen.”
His organisation is trying to combat the mindset that you can’t plan for increased slum population, by supporting the creation of municipal development forums in a number of Ugandan cities. These are structured discussions where the local authority, local private sector companies and slum dwellers meet and deliberate about the future of the city.
Having the capacity to plan for future slum populations isn’t just a problem limited to Africa though.

The percentage of a rock’s total volume that has pores and spaces is referred to as its _______________________.
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Porosity

Explanation:

Porosity is defined as the total percentage of pore spaces that are present within a rock. These spaces are found between the rock particles and fractures and are mostly filled with fluid mixture or water. It is the ratio between the total pore space in a rock to the total volume of the rock. It is mainly calculated in terms of percentage.

Porosity is directly affected by sorting. Well-sorted rocks indicate high porosity but poorly-sorted rocks indicate low porosity. Some of the examples of rocks exhibiting high porosity are limestone, shale, and sandstone. Rocks with low porosity include granite and mudstone.
