Answer:

The answer is Option 2: Earth rotates on its axis.

Explanation:

Polaris is also more commonly know as the North Star is a triple star system and it appears to us here on Earth as the brightest star in the Ursa Minor constellation. Because the North Star is almost directly in line with the rotational axis of the earth, which is the North Pole, the star appears to stand still in the sky while the other stars in the northern hemisphere seem to rotate around Polaris. It has been used by navigators to help guide them to their destinations when there was no other landmarks to gain a sense of cardinal direction.

What is the main reason so few African leaders are replaced in free elections?

mariarad [96]

Answer:

The main reason so few African leaders are replaced in free elections is because the vast majority of African nations have serious socio-political and economic problems, which generate enormous political instability and serious situations of social tension. Thus, for example, countries like Mali have 75% of their population living on less than 2 dollars a day, while others, like Nigeria, increase this percentage to 92%.

Thus, these situations of poverty, need for primary resources and lack of opportunities generate social conflicts that, translated into politics, are the starting point for revolutions, dictatorships and other anti-democratic manifestations.
