Answer:

Terrestrial (rocky) planets

Explanation:

These planets would be classified as rocky planets because of their small diameter, relatively high density, and low-density atmospheres. The profile of such a planet is, in fact, very similar to that of Mars, which has a radius of just under 4000 km, an atmosphere thinner than that of Earth and a density also less than that of Earth.

Gas giant planets have much lower densities and much larger dimensions than the terrestrial planets as more gravity is needed to retain their massive, gaseous atmospheres.

Answer:

Before a hurricane strikes, you should know the evacuation route in case your house is damaged or you don't have a safe place inside the house to stay in.

In case you have a basement or lowest floor in the building, make sure it doesn't easily flood, otherwise you will get drowned.

If you are outside the house, you should move slowly to highest land, avoiding walking or swing in flooded areas.

Who inspired the French people with a sense of nationalism during the Hundred Years’ War? A. Gutenberg B. Charlemagne C. Martin

Answer:

<h2>D. Joan of Arc</h2>

Explanation:

Joan of Arc was a French peasant who claimed she'd had visions of saints and an angel that told her to help restore France from domination by the English.  

Joan of Arc came to the scene at a critical time in 1429.  The northern half of France was essentially under the control of the English.  There was contention over who was truly the French king after Charles VI had died in 1422.  His son, the prince Charles, was a claimant to the throne. But the English contended their boy king, Henry VI, should rule over France.

In January 1429, Joan (age 17) came to the court of the prince, Charles, and convinced him of her mission from God.  Within a few months, she had rallied the people of France and helped to break the control of the English over large sections of French territory.  She ultimately was captured by a group of French nobles who were allied with the English, was handed over to the English, and was burned at the stake (in 1431).  But she had done much to unite the French people around a sense of common patriotism and national aspirations.
