Geography
1 answer:
Alenkasestr [34]3 years ago
8 0

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.

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Ottoman sultans governed over Turkey for about 7 centuries. After World War I, a season of disruption within Turkey came to an end when a popular, charismatic general named Mustafa Kemal took control. Kemal which translates “the perfect one." He earned his nickname due to that fact that he was able to memorize his lessons faster than any of his colleagues.

Kemal was of the motion that Turkey needed to become a modern day nation. He was of the opinion that if the Turkish people continued to with their traditions, they would suffer an attack by another western power. The sultan Kemal often traveled around the countryside to charge the people “Let science and new ideas come in freely," he usually said. “If you don’t, they will devour you.”

The ideas he proposed for modernization are:

> In every modern nation, men and women must be treated equal. He decreed that girls be allowed to attend schools. He also bestowed on women the right to vote and take jobs in business and government.

> Kemal laid aside religious law and established a western type justice system for the nation. Turkey had been ruled by Shariah law before Kemal set up a legal structure that was close to that operated by European nations.

> Kemal also introduced a western alphabet system and decreed that all newspapers, books, and street signs created with the new script.
