Leni [432]3 years ago

The correct answer is - at the low left part of the map.

The maps have multiple elements, and one of those elements is the scale. The scale can be found on the lower part on the map, on the left side. It serves to give us the information about the distance on the map, in comparison to the actual distance in reality. This information can be shown either as unit to unit, or as measurement to measurement.

Example:

1:100,000

This means that one unit on the map, will be equal to 100,000 same units in actual distance. So 1 cm on the map, will be 100,000 cm in real life.

Bumek [7]
The correct answer is - failed.
The African nations with their peacekeeping efforts completely failed in their mission in Sudan. They did not managed to keep the peace at all, and everything continued as if they were not present on the terrain. The mission lasted for around three years, from 2004 till 2007, and after the United Nations saw that there's no effect from it, the AMIS (as it was called) was replaced by UNAMID, peacekeeping forces from the United Nations.

How was the hereditary caste system closely connected to hindu beliefs in reincarnation?
Anastaziya [24]
Karma; in other words, you reap what you sow in your next life. A person's caste was seen as the result of the actions they committed in a past life. It is why Hinduism supported the caste system for so long because they believed that it was the result of Karma and appointed by the gods. Similarly, it's also why many wealthy Hindus refuse to give to charity because they believe that the poor are reaping what they sowed in a previous life.
