3. Near the Equator, the sun's rays strike the earth

Social Studies
1 answer:
kifflom [539]3 years ago

Answer:

D. from directly overhead.

Explanation:

The Sun rays reaches Earth's surface directly overhead at the equator. An equator is an imaginary line, that tends to divide the Northern hemisphere and Southern hemisphere equally, constituting the parallel of latitude 0 degree.

Since the Earth is tilted on its axis, the surface at the poles receives less of Sun rays and is cooler, and at the equator, the Solar energy strikes directly overhead making the area more warm than others.

Therefore, option D is correct.

The word democracy comes from the Greek words demos, which means “people,” and kratein, which means “to rule.” Why do you think
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Democracy is an appropriate term to use for our system of government because the whole aspect of our government is to let the people decide through voting. The people have the most power, that’s what it’s supposed to be that’s what was set in the books but sometimes government officials find loopholes to do things the American people don’t want. But the whole aspect of our government is to let the people vote and have a say in the ruling of their country.
