Explanation:

The rack is a torture device consisting of a rectangular, usually wooden frame, slightly raised from the ground,[1] with a roller at one or both ends. The victim's ankles are fastened to one roller and the wrists are chained to the other. As the interrogation progresses, a handle and ratchet mechanism attached to the top roller are used to very gradually retract the chains, slowly increasing the strain on the prisoner's shoulders, hips, knees, and elbows and causing excruciating pain. By means of pulleys and levers this roller could be rotated on its own axis, thus straining the ropes until the sufferer's joints were dislocated[1] and eventually separated. Additionally, if muscle fibres are stretched excessively, they lose their ability to contract, rendering them ineffective.

France vs Italy warm ​
forsale [732]

When it comes to their respective climates, Italy is generally warmer than France.

<h3>How do the climates of Italy and France compare?</h3>

France is generally colder than Italy at any point in the year due to France being closer to the North pole than Italy. This means that the cold northern temperatures of the North Pole will often affect the French climate and make it colder.

France being closer to the North Pole also means that it gets less sunlight than Italy which means that it gets less chances of being warmer than Italy.

Italy for its part, is warmer because it is closer to the Mediterranean sea and also to the Equator which means that it gets more sunlight and so is warmer than France.

The South of France which is close to Italy is about the same temperature as Italy in general however. It is worthy of note that France and Italy also have the same continental climate but French weather is generally warmer.
