The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest architectural achievements ever recorded in history. The Great Wall translates to “long fortress.” The wall was made entirely by hand. It was built to protect the Chinese from intruders from different Nomadic Tribes. The wall is about 5,500 miles long. The wall did not stretch across all of China but it stretched from Shanhaiguan in the East to Lop Nur in the West. Some people say that you can even see the wall from the moon! Wouldn’t that be something to see? The wall is very old and has been around for about 2,000 years. Parts of the wall are missing from it decaying and crumbling. Despite parts of the wall missing it remains a popular attraction today and is one of the seven spectacular…show more content…
During the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) was when much most of the wall was added. The Mind dynasty suffered from their attackers the Dadan, Nuzhen, and Tufan tribes. The Ming court built a lot more walls in the north as an attempt to keep out the attacking tribes. They built the walls much more elaborate and durable than the Qin Dynasty. There were many walls, fortresses, and watch towers along the wall which made the country more successful. Even with all the new construction on the wall the Ming dynasty was defeated by the Oirats in the battle of Tumu in the year 1449. The Ming dynasty had failed to keep the Mongolian and Manchurian tribes under control and it had weakened the Ming Empire. After the Mings loss in this battle they built more walls to make them less vulnerable if they were attacked. Towards the end of the Ming dynasty the Great Wall helped a lot to defend them from the Manchu invaders. The Manchus got into Beijing through the Shanhaiguan gates and took over the city ending the rule of the Ming dynasty and starting the new rule of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty extended Chinas territory farther north beyond the Great Wall. The wall didn’t protect China’s border anymore so, construction on the wall stopped and soldiers abandoned their posts on the wall. The wall wasn’t used again after.
Today, the Great Wall is still standing in some parts but people fear that itthe Great Wall] demonstrates the manifestation of the wisdom and tenacity of the Chinese people.”(cortland.edu). China is considered one of the world’s oldest civilizations with the first dynasty beginning in 221 B.C.. A famous icon of this great civilization is the Great Wall of China, or known to the Chinese as Wan Li Chang Cheng. During the Warring States period, many feudal societies built their own sections for security. Eventually the walls were connected and there was a unified China. With The Great Wall of China is known as the largest construction project to be put in effect in all of world history. The wall, also known in China as "long wall of 10,000 li," is a collection of numerous short walls extending along the crest of hills on the southern edge of the Mongolian plain. Although it is a common misconception that the Great Wall of China is one long continuous wall, it 's structural inconsistency in no way undermines its greatness. The wall has been built, destructed,includes modules of ________ so you can see the construction of _____ Today I am going to be presenting the Great Wall of China and what political and military reasons it was built for. The construction was a feat of great magnitude and reflected the innovations and technological advancements of the Ancient Chinese. The reason I have decided to focus upon the Ancient Chinese is because I find China a very interesting civilisation. The ancient Chinese civilisation began 7,000 to 8,000 years ago and about
The Great Wall of China James Allen World History 1st period February 1, 2015 The first unified Chinese empire was formed in 221 B.C., that was when seven states were brought together by Shi Huangdi, a conqueror from the state of Qin. Shi Huangdi means “first emperor.” Until the twentieth century all rulers of imperial China called themselves the emperor. The emperor was believed, by the people of China, to be the son of heaven, God-like

What’s the velocity of a sound wave traveling through air at a temperature of 18°C (64.4°F)?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

342 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of sound in air is approximated as:

v ≈ 331.4 + 0.6 T

where v is the velocity in m/s and T is the temperature in Celsius.

At T = 18:

v ≈ 331.4 + 0.6 (18)

v ≈ 342.2

The velocity is approximately 342 m/s.

How much heat is evolved when 1234 g of water condenses to a liquid at 100.°c?
lbvjy [14]
During the phase transition vapour --> liquid water, the temperature of the water does not change; the molecules of water release heat and the amounf of heat released is equal to
Q=mL_e
where
m is the mass of the water
L_e is the latent heat of evaporation.

For water, the latent heat of evaporation is L=2257 kJ/kg, while the mass of the water is
m=1234 g=1.234 kg

so, the amount of heat released in the process is
Q=mL_e = (1.234 kg)(2257 kJ/kg)=2785 kJ
