Answer:

1) Dam. Raises the water level of the river to create falling water. Also controls the flow of water. The reservoir that is formed is, in effect, stored energy.

2) Turbine. The force of falling water pushing against the turbine's blades causes the turbine to spin. A water turbine is much like a windmill, except the energy is provided by falling water instead of wind. The turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy.

3) Generator. Connected to the turbine by shafts and possibly gears so when the turbine spins it causes the generator to spin also. Converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electric energy. Generators in hydropower plants work just like the generators in other types of power plants.

4) Transmission lines. Conduct electricity from the hydropower plant to homes and business.

Mademuasel [1]

Quality time to me means paying attention to the other person with little distractions and maybe watching a movie or playing a game with that person.

When it comes to talking about things unless you think the person should know I would honestly say you don't have to tell them unless it's something involving cheating, lying, or anything big.

What are the three principles of the people"? Are these realistic in China? How about in today's world?
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

What are the three principles of the people?

The three principles of the people are :nationalism, democracy, and the livelihood of the people.

This ideology was developed by  Sun Yat-sen to create  prosperous nation.

Are these realistic in China?

No.  China has a massive authoritarian power structure, in which the government owned almost all the resources in the country.  The people do not obtain the right to free election, which do not fulfill the 'Democracy' Criteria from the three principles.

How about in today's world?

Absolutely. Those three principles are generally popular among the citizens, it should not be difficult to achieve.

Probably the biggest challenge for any other country in the world would be fulfilling livelihood of the people.

But it can be solved by having emphatic understanding toward the hardship that felt by our fellow citizens.

1. Describe the actions by the U.S. government during the removal process.
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Cherokee attempts at resisting the removal by the United States included creating a formal Cherokee constitution, negotiating the Treat of 1819, and proceeding with legal action within the Supreme Court. These actions proved futile when Andrew Jackson was elected President and forcibly removed them for their land.
