<span>On a certain dry sunny day, a swimming pool's temperature would rise by 1.60°C if not for evaporation. What fraction of the water must evaporate to carry away precisely enough heat to keep the temperature constant?</span>
Answer:
Eratosthenes successfully applied his scientific research to create an illustration of the first world map.
"He decided to keep a few of the native people captive" most likely describes why some of Pizarro’s men called him a butcher.
This phrase shows that Pizarro had a tendency to resort to inhumane practices, such as keeping prisoners without their consent, in order to reach his goals. Francisco Pizarro is also known to have committed other acts of cruelty such as executing the Incan emperor Atahualpa in 1533, as well as one of his generals.
The position of a place north or south of the equator is described
in terms of its latitude. Since we're talking about the surface of
a sphere, latitude is an angle, and its value is given in angle
measure.
Any unit of angle is fine ... degrees, radians, grads, etc., and if
you're given an angle in one unit, you can always easily change
it to a unit that you like better ... but 'degrees' has been the unit
used most often for latitude, and longitude too, practically since
the whole system was invented a few hundred years ago.
For parts of an angle smaller than a whole degree, 1/60 of a
degree (minutes) and 1/3600 of a degree (seconds) were used
traditionally for the first couple hundred years. But that ponderous,
inconvenient system is rapidly giving way now to plain old decimal
degrees, probably because those are easier for the computer to handle.
