Answer: many conclusions can be drawn from that statement: 1) official language is Portuguese, 2) Catholicism played an important role in shaping Brazilian society, 3) because Iberian countries never really went through Reformation, scientific revolution or Enlightenment, Brazil lacks that even today ....first university (according to international standards) was found in 1934 (Sao Paulo University), 4) authoritarian regimes of Portugal and Spain could not give a good example of democratic sharing of power....consequences are visible even today (democracy was not constructed from below but from the top), 5) religion was always part of politics (it is true even today)....all these trace of medievalism makes Brazilian society partly archaic (comparing to Europe or USA, Canada etc.).
Explanation: read Brazilian historian José Murilo de Carvalho
Answer:
The ice cools the water, it sinks, moves toward the less dense and warmer water, as it warms up it rises and is pushed away by the cooler water that is coming from behind and below it.
Explanation:
The North and South Poles, as well as their surroundings, are covered with ice. The ice and the cold temperatures are cooling off the water, which makes it denser and heavier. The water sinks deeper because of its density and weight, and gradually starts t move toward the less dense waters.
As the cool water moves toward the less dense and warmer water of the lower latitudes, it gradually becomes warmer and rises on the surface. Because there is constantly water that is denser and heavier behind it, it is pushed, and it moves toward the higher latitudes as a surface current. As the water nears the poles it starts to cool off and reaches a point where its density and weight are larger and it sinks down again.
In December 1978, Vietnamese troops fought their way into Cambodia. They captured Phnom Penh on January 7, 1979. ... In 1982, the Khmer Rouge formed a coalition with Prince Sihanouk, who was exiled in China after the Cambodian Civil War, and the non-communist leader Son Sann to create the Triparty Coalition Government.
Answer:
Japan is situated in a volcanic zone on the Pacific Ring of Fire. Most of the earthquakes following that occurred in Japan happened because of a destructive plate boundary. This is when continental and oceanic plates collide and the heavier, more dense oceanic plate sinks underneath the continental one.
Earthquakes are most common at tectonic plate boundaries where different plates meet called fault line. They were thought to not occur anywhere but near plate boundaries.
