Alexander III of Macedon (Alexander the Great), apart from being a great military tactician and in a way promoted some initial version of globalization, he was also an explorer.

With his conquering, Alexander and the Macedonian soldiers managed to reach parts of the world that were either unknown, or were things of legends and myths in Europe.

Multiple people that were historians, philosophers, or were interested in any science were writing down pretty much everything, and they also were trying to make maps of the newly discovered places, which gave the people in Macedon, and all the others from the region that the world is much bigger than they thought previously.

Anettt [7]

Answer: All the given ideas

Inner planets rotate slower.

Outer planets rotate faster.

Inner planets take more time to complete a rotation.

Outer planets take less time to complete a rotation.

Planet A is an outer planet.

Planet B is an inner planet.

Explanation:

Taking as a model our Solar System we know the following:

The inner planets (such as our Earth, Mercury, Venus and Mars), rotate on their own axis (also called spin) slower than the outer planets (such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). This is because of the Sun's huge gravitational field, which holds the nearest planets tightly as they make their revolution around the star.

However, inner planets complete one orbit around the Sun faster than the outer planets, for this same reason (due to their proximity to the Sun's gravitational field).

Hence, if Planet A is an outer planet, and Planet B is an inner planet, then Planet A will spin (rotate on its own axis) faster than Planet B.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

d. may belong to any of the three primary rock types

Explanation:

Metamorphic rock is the transformation of any of the existing rocks through the process of metamorphism i.e associated with changes in form. When the original rocks are subject to intense heat from below. The Pressure over these rocks causes profound hearing and compaction of rocks particles and matter.

About 12% of the earth's surface is made up of metamorphic rocks that are either derived from the igneous or sedimentary rocks based on texture, chemical, and mineral assemblage.

Some common examples of these rocks are gneiss, slate, marble, and schist, etc that have been formed from the sedimentary processes.

Where did the original atmospheric oxygen come from

faust18 [17]

The correct answer is - cyanobacteria.

The atmospheric oxygen came from the cyanobacteria. These were one of the earliest living organisms on Earth. The cyanobacteria was using photosynthesis in order to create its own food. The photosynthesis process requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen. The oxygen is mostly released as a waste product from the process of photosynthesis, thus the cyanobacteria were literally releasing oxygen that was ending up into the atmosphere. As more and more cyanobacteria there were across the planet, more and more oxygen they were releasing into the atmosphere, slowly changing the composition of the atmosphere, and setting the basis of it as we know it now.
