How do we experience these Greek contributions today? (Such as, we still use Greek advancements in mathematics in our schools an
LekaFEV [45]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

This is the way we experience these Greek contributions today

Drama/Theater: Greek authors were fantastic writers who wrote classic plays of different genres. For instance, in Athens, the most important city-state of ancient Greece, they built the Theatron, were artists performed these plays in the first form of theaters, as we know them today.

History: Ancient Greece is an obligated reference in human history for the importance of its culture, civilization, literature, and pantheon of gods that influenced other civilizations such as the Romans. His political history is so influential into a modern-day form of governments, like the one in the United States, in that the Athenians were the first to develop the concept of Democracy, and the right of men to elect their rulers.

Trial by Jury: the Board of Archons were the ones who imparted justice in ancient Greece. It was formed by nine members who listened to the complaints of the Greek people. This concept influenced the Romans and modern-day justice systems such as the one in the United States.

The leaders of the US, USSR, and Great Britain said they wanted to cooperate, so why were negotiations at the Yalta and Potsdam
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:  Each country had its own agenda about the post-war world.

Context/explanation:

Churchill in particular, along with Roosevelt, pushed strongly for Stalin to allow free elections to take place in the nations of Europe after the war. At that time Stalin agreed, but there was a strong feeling by the other leaders that he might renege on that promise. The Soviets never did allow those free elections to occur. Later, Winston Churchill wrote, "Our hopeful assumptions were soon to be falsified." Stalin and the Soviets felt they needed the Eastern European nations as satellites to protect their own interests.   So one key point of disagreement between Stalin and the other two was over the direction things would take in Eastern Europe after the war.

While Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt were on the same page in many ways, there were also key differences between them.   As noted by The Churchill Project of Hillsdale College, "FDR, ever the optimist, believed (or wanted to believe) that Stalin could be convinced that the West was not committed to destruction of the Soviet regime."  Churchill had a much more skeptical view of Stalin and the Soviet Union and approached the relationship in a firmer fashion.  Roosevelt had hoped to continue cooperation with the USSR.  That changed under Truman, who took over the US Presidency after FDR's death.  Truman was strongly anti-communist in his stance.

Another difference between Roosevelt and Churchill pertained to colonialism and imperialism.  Again as noted by The Churchill Project:  "Over colonialism. Roosevelt firmly believed European colonialism had been a major cause of World War I, and that it had continued to be a source of international disputes and tensions before World War II. Churchill had sworn defend the realm, which, when he took office, included the British Empire."  As it happened, after World War II, colonialism's days were numbered and independence movements broke out around the world where imperial powers had dominated.

How do Earth's global winds help transfer heat through the atmosphere?
mamaluj [8]

The ocean and atmosphere are connected. They work together to move heat and fresh water across the globe. Wind-driven and ocean-current circulations move warm water toward the poles and colder water toward the equator. The ocean can store much more heat than the land surfaces on the Earth. The majority of the thermal energy at the Earth’s surface is stored in the ocean. Thus, the absorption and movement of energy on the Earth is related to the ocean-atmosphere system.
