V125BC [204]3 years ago

Archimedes was an ancient Greek mathematician and inventor. He made mathematical discoveries as he solved everyday problems. He invented machines to move heavy objects, carry water, and fight battles. Archimedes recorded his discoveries so that others could learn from them. Today he is considered one of the greatest mathematicians of all time.

Archimedes was born in the Greek city-state of Syracuse, Sicily, in 287 bc. His father, Phidias, was an astronomer. Archimedes also studied astronomy.

It is believed that Archimedes visited the famous library of Alexandria, Egypt, where he met great scholars. While in Egypt, he is said to have invented a machine to carry water upward from one level to another. The machine, known as Archimedes’ screw, is still used in parts of the world today.After studying in Alexandria, Archimedes returned to Syracuse. He wrote many works to explain his discoveries. Archimedes’ most-famous ideas include his explanations of how levers and pulleys can lift and move heavy objects. Another idea, called Archimedes’ principle, is a scientific law. It describes what happens when an object floats in water.

In 213 bc Romans attacked Syracuse. Archimedes invented machines to defend the city. When Syracuse was finally overtaken, Archimedes was killed there in 212 bc.

What are two major forces that shape and reshape earth? describe how each force works too please?
dexar [7]
<span>The two major forces that shape/reshape the earth are internal forces, i.e.volcanoes and earthquakes and external forces, i.e. weather and the ocean, both of which cause erosion. Volcanoes can add landmass but also can destroy land or cause a winter-like state caused by ash in the atmosphere which can block out the sun and possible killing vast amounts of plant and animal life. Earthquakes can change the land by process of subduction where one plate (land surface or ocean bottom) is forced under another. Erosion wears down geologic formations by the actions of wind and water. Over time water can carve valleys or canyons. Ocean water can erode coastlines by the constant beating of waves on the shore. Wind can carry away particles of land and deposit them elsewhere. Wind and weather combined can be a powerful force for reshaping the earth.</span>

AlekseyPX
<span>The correct answer is B. Pulmonary. The answers C. Cerebral and D. Extremity, are baseless regarding this question; A. Systemic could be a good alternative, as the blood flows from the systemic to the pulmonary circulation in the right side of the heart; but the systemic circulation is in fact mostly handled in the left side of the heart, while the right side handles the pulmonary one. </span>

Rickets is the disease in children in which an inefficient mineralization of the bone forming tissue causes deformities. This condition results in weak or soft bones in children, normally due to an extreme and prolonged deficiency of vitamin D. Vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the gastrointestinal tract. The symptoms include bowed legs, stunted growth, bone pain, large forehead, and trouble sleeping among others.
