serg [7]2 years ago

Explanation: Since air has mass, it also has weight. The pressure of air at a given place is defined as a force exerted in all directions by virtue of the weight of all the air above it.

The weight of a column of air contained in a unit area from the mean sea level to the top of the atmosphere is called the atmospheric pressure. The atmospheric pressure is expressed in various units.

Measurement of Air Pressure

Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the column of air at any given place and time. It is measured by means of an instrument called barometer.

The units used by meteorologists for this purpose are called millibars (mb).

One millibar is equal to the force of one gram on a square centimeter. A pressure of 1000 millibars is equal to the weight of 1.053 kilograms per square centimeter.

In other words, it will be equal to the weight of a column of mercury 75 cm high.

The normal pressure at sea level is taken to be about 76 centimeters (1013.25 millibars).

Vertical Variation of Pressure

In the lower atmosphere the pressure decreases rapidly with height.

Describe the interaction between the Ming Dynasty and the Portuguese between 1513 and 1537.
yaroslaw [1]

Portugal established trading activities in China in 1513 when Jorge Alvares arrived.

In 1517 the King sent a mission and created a trade center at Nei Lingding.

Portugal and Ming Dynasty relationship gradually expanded but was deteriorated when Simão de Andrade arrived at Guangzhou in 1519. He violated their customs and laws, so Chinese people reacted by killing several Portuguese in the streets.

In 1521 the Emperor Zhengde died and the Ming Court lost interest in having relations with foreign countries.

There were two battles:

In 1521, every Portuguese vessel was confiscated and Chinese defeated a Portuguese fleet at The First Battle of Tamao

In 1522, Martim Alfonso de Merlo Coutinho was sent to establish diplomatic relations but the Chinese defeated them at The Second Battle of Tamao.

The Chinese resisted any Portuguese attempt to return. But in 1535 Portuguese Port Traders were allowed to anchor ships in Macau´s harbors and they could trade. Finally, in 1537 the Portuguese establish a little Colony at Macau to be administered by Chinese authorities.

Answer:

Soviet propaganda under Joseph Stalin took a variety of forms and used a number of different techniques. A lot of propaganda placed Stalin along with earlier communist visionaries, like Karl Marx, Joseph Engels, and Vladimir Lenin. This propaganda presented Stalin as the natural successor to these great leaders that were continually praised in Soviet newspapers, schools, and elsewhere in society. Over time, the portrayals of Stalin changed from simple praise, to taking the form of a cult of personality. Soviet propaganda portrayed Stalin as a brilliant and kind, all-knowing figure who would lead the world's people to socialism, calling him the ''Father of Nations.''
