kupik [55]

During the 18th century the disease killed an estimated 400,000 Europeans each year, including five reigning monarchs, and was responsible for a third of all blindness. After successful vaccination campaigns throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the WHO certified the global eradication of smallpox in December 1979. Smallpox is one of two infectious diseases to have been eradicated.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

San Andreas is a prominent example of a transform fault, in which the plates namely the Pacific Plate and the North American plate slide past each other. The movement of the associated plates in this fault is in the right lateral, strike-slip. With the continuous and rapid movement of both the plates in its respective direction, the west side of the fault would get detached from the fault zone and lead to the formation of an island. The movement of the plates along this fault is responsible for the occurrence of shallow focus tremendous earthquakes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

The Picture Has The Questions
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

When a line bisects an angle, it divides the angle into two congruent angles.

Angle FGH = Angle HGI

4x - 6 = 5x - 15

x = 9

Substitute x into angles.

Angle FGH = 4(9) - 6 = 30°

Angle HGI = Angle FGH = 30°

Angle FGI = Angle FGH + Angle HGI

= 30 + 30

= 60°

Why is distribution of resources unfair between rich and poor countries of the world?​
Tema [17]

Answer:

The rich countries of the world were, in fact, the former colonial empires, such as: the French Empire, the Spanish Empire, the Portuguese Empire, the Dutch Empire. All these empires owned colonies in South America, Africa, and Asia. Thus, a large part of the resources of the "colonial countries" were transported to the "mother empires", so the colonized countries were left without resources. Precious ores, gold, silver, diamonds from South Africa were transported to "empires", from which we deduce that the financial resources obtained from the sale of precious ores entered the budget of the colonial empires.
