Geography

IgorC [24]3 years ago
4 0

<u>Answer:</u>

Ptolemy accounted for 'retrograde motion' in his model of the solar system by introducing smaller circles named 'epicycles'.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • According to Ptolemy, the Sun and the other planets in the Solar system orbited around the Earth.
  • The Greeks were convinced that Ptolemy's earlier model did not provide for backward or the retrograde motion.
  • Ptolemy thought over it for a while and theorized the possibility of 'epicycles'.
  • According to Ptolemy, the planets that orbited Earth also orbited another smaller point.
  • The smaller orbits followed by the planets while in motion around the Earth in a larger orbit were introduced by Ptolemy as 'epicycles'.
  • Until Kepler proposed his models of the functioning of the Solar system, Ptolemy's models were considered the most relevant.

Which of the following types of migration are correctly explained by the example given?
Katena32 [7]

Answer: B. International migration and voluntary migration: Family A from Mumbai has convinced their close friends Family B to emigrate to London as they did in order to help start up their business.

Explanation:

Migration is the process of moving from the place of origin to another area due to personal, social or political reasons. Throughout human history, we have migrated for various reasons, from searching for food, from safer areas to live or exploring new territories, it is part of our nature.

Currently, migration is classified as voluntary or forced migration and internal or international migration.

  • Voluntary migration consists of voluntary internal or international displacement, permanent or temporary, to seek better economic opportunities.
  • Forced migration occurs when the displacement is carried out against the will, due to situations of violence, natural disaster or eviction.
  • Internal migration is what occurs within the same territory, for example from rural to urban areas.
  • International migration consists of movements from the country of origin to another country.

In this case, Family A convinces Family B to make an international migration (from India to England) voluntarily (To establish a business).
