Why is Hinduism both monotheistic and polytheistic?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

God in Hinduism

Because there are so many gods and goddesses, it can be perceived as a polytheistic religion, but in fact they believe that Brahman is one and all other gods have different manifestations. And the gods whose name you will often hear:

- Brahman - Creator of the universe

- Vishnu - God who keeps the universe in balance and harmony. Vishnu manifests itself in different ways depending on the situation. There are many different avatars like Rama, Krsna, Lakshimi, Sarasvati.

Lord of destruction. They believe that the universe is occasionally destroyed by Lord Shiva and re-created by Brahman. Cyclicity is a very important image in Hinduism.

Which of the following was an advantage of ironclads? (Select all that apply.)
Nady [450]

Answer:

They could take more damage from enemy power.

Reason this is an answer: Remember that during the Civil War, all sides (as well as the world) continued to use cannon balls, which is generally a sphere made of pig iron, and was loaded into a cannon. These kinds of rounds packed more punch rather than the penetration quality needed to go through iron. Ironclads generally shrugged off the damage that would usually penetrate the wooden-ships, causing a hole in which water would sip in, and slowly drown.

They relied on power.

Reason this is an answer: While I'm not sure what "power" it is referring too, they do rely on many different powers. They first rely on the power of the economical situation of a country, in which the country is able to not only build the ship, but also produce the iron & create enough iron to armor the ship up. Power also can refer to armament as well as crews and protection, in which all of these are heavily relied upon when in battles. Without the experience and battle-hardening of all of these, the ships would not have as much of an impact as it should have.

It can be, but is not necessary, at least during the Civil War:

They could have more weapons and firepower.

Later on as the ironclads evolved they were able to hold more weapons and have a higher % of firepower, however, the early days (or the days of the Merrimack and Monitor) they did not have more fire power than the ordinary wooden ships both navies had. Remember, they relied more on their armor than in firepower. However, this changed over the years.
