In 1-2 sentences, explain how an Astrolabe is a computer.
Answer:
An astrolabe (Ancient Greek: ἀστρολάβος astrolabos; Arabic: ٱلأَسْطُرلاب al-Asturlāb; Persian: ستارهیاب Sitārayāb) is an ancient astronomical device that equates to a handheld model of the universe. Its various functions also make it an elaborate inclinometer and an analog calculation device capable of working out several kinds of problems in astronomy. Historically used by astronomers it is able to measure the altitude above the horizon of a celestial body, day or night; it can be used to identify stars or planets, to determine local latitude given local time (and vice versa), to survey, or to triangulate. It was used in classical antiquity, the Islamic Golden Age,[1] the European Middle Ages and the Age of Discovery for all these purposes.

Write an informative essay that explains a natural phenomenon such as the Pitch Lake in Trinidad or the aurora borealis.
FIRST TO ANSWER GETS BRIANLEIST AND THIS IS WORTH 30 POPINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
U realise that the point number is 15 not 30?
But here is an answer!
Every storm cloud has a silver lining; in the case of space weather, that lining is the aurora borealis, more commonly known as the Northern Lights. (Viewers in the southern hemisphere are treated to an equivalent version called the aurora australis, or Southern Lights.) The phenomenon is best observed on a clear, cold night around the spring or autumn equinox. Find an open patch of sky well away from the interfering lights of the city, and you may catch a glimpse of the spectacle: curtains of pale light-green and blue, sometimes red or violet-shimmering above the northern horizon for minutes or even hours at a time.
Auroras occur when electrons and protons from the Sun strike gas molecules in Earth's upper atmosphere. As the solar particles encounter Earth's magnetosphere, they are drawn along the magnetic field lines and funneled toward the North and South poles. There, high above Earth's surface, they collide with atmospheric molecules, energizing them and causing them to glow. The colors that result depend on the gas molecules involved. The brightest and most common auroral color, a brilliant yellow-green, is produced by the glow of oxygen molecules roughly 60 miles above Earth. Ionized nitrogen molecules emit blue light when hit by solar particles; neutral nitrogen molecules emit a purplish-red light. All-red auroras are rare; they are caused by the glow of oxygen atoms 200 miles above Earth. The size and intensity of the aurora varies from night to night, and moment to moment, depending on the strength of the solar wind. On April 6, 2001, a large geomagnetic storm produced an aurora that was seen as far south as Alabama. The scientific understanding of auroras has advanced enormously in recent years with the launch of satellites designed expressly to study them. Instruments aboard NASA's Polar spacecraft monitor ultraviolet radiation and chemical changes in the upper atmosphere, effectively offering an up-to-the-minute report on the shape and intensity of the aurora. The Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Exploration (IMAGE) spacecraft, launched in 2000, studies Earth's magnetosphere in astounding detail. It can watch auroras evolve over a period of hours, and can even see auroras flickering in the far-ultraviolet wavelength. Recently and for the first time, scientists observed a phenomenon known as "black auroras." A black aurora isn't really an aurora at all: it's the dark, empty space within a colorful aurora where one would otherwise expect auroral activity to be visible. Nonetheless, black auroras exhibit distinct patterns, including curls, rings and writhing black patches. Nowadays, scientists often can forecast a spectacular aurora hours or days in advance, so it's worth checking space weather websites (See Related Links) with some regularity.
In the 1970s, with the aid of the Hubble Space Telescope, it became apparent that Earth is not the only planet with auroras. On both Jupiter and Saturn, auroras appear pink due to the large amounts of hydrogen in those planets' atmospheres. Jupiter's aurora has proved to be particularly intriguing. On Earth, the aurora is powered by a barrage of charged particles from the Sun. On Jupiter, auroras are generated instead by volcanic particles from the Jovian moon Io. These particles become ionized, expand and then are trapped in Jupiter's tremendous magnetic field. Rotating once every ten hours, Jupiter generates auroras many times more powerful than those on Earth. However, Earth's auroras remain unique in one respect: they are (at times, anyway) green. Indeed, Earth is the only known planet with green auroras, because it is the only known planet with an oxygen-rich atmosphere. As scientists look deeper into the universe for signs of other, potentially habitable worlds, auroras are one clue they examine. If a distant, unknown planet has shimmering green auroras, that's a strong indication that its atmosphere is rich in oxygen, perhaps enough to support life. Whether that life is capable of appreciating the auroras—well, that's another issue.

- Were sea voyages of the past only looking for land and riches?
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Famous sea voyargers like Christoper Columbus and Ferdinand Mallegan were paid to go on these sea voyages to look for untouched land, new trades routes, as well as new foods, animals, or treasures. Columbus was sent out to find a trade route to India in order to buy prices and goods, but found the Americas, which the Spanish later colonized.

The French and Indian War Group of answer choices gave the French control of the thirteen colonies. caused France to leave North America and Great Britain to have tremendous war debt. created more French territories in North America. allowed colonists to participate in the British Parliament.
Answer:
Correct answer is caused France to leave North America and Great Britain to have tremendous war debt.
Explanation:
This is the correct answer because France lost all of its territories, including Canada which led to them practically totally lose territories. Although Britain won the war, that war and the one in Europe caused many financial difficulties, which they tried to solve with imposition of new taxes.
Gave the French control of the thirteen colonies is the wrong answer as Britain still controlled the colonies.
Created more French territories in North America is wrong, as they lost almost everything.
Allowed colonists to participate in the British Parliament, because colonist had no representation in the Parliament. There is even a famous saying from that period "No taxation without representation."

Answer:b
Explanation:
Use the passage below to answer all parts of the question that follows.
No ruler took more liberties with his religion than Akbar, the greatest of the Mughals, the Muslim dynasty that dominated India between the early 16th and 18th centuries. Like Ashoka and Gandhi, Akbar constructed a religious ideology that served to hold together a diffuse polity as it fed his own soul.
It began with pragmatic policies of tolerance. Akbar had inherited the throne, at the age of 13, in 1556. In 1579 he abolished the jiziya, a tax imposed on all but the poorest non-Muslims. This was the most notable in a series of measures to recruit the Hindu majority and others to the cause of unifying and expanding his empire. He could be ruthless: his troops massacred 20,000–25,000 non-combatants after a four-month siege of Chitor, a nearly impregnable Hindu fortress in Rajasthan. But he preferred incentives to coercion. He defeated the war-like Rajputs, but gave them rank and married their princesses, who were permitted to conduct Hindu rites in the harem. The Mughal-Rajput alliance was a bulwark of his empire.
"Multicultural Akbar,” The Economist, 1999
a) Explain ONE specific political development that resulted from the conditions created by the religious policies described in the passage.
b) Explain ONE specific change to Muslim-Hindu relations that resulted from the conditions created by the religious policies described in the passage.
c) Explain ONE specific consequence of the policies described in the passage on religious minorities.
Answer:
a) As stated in the passage "It began with pragmatic policies of tolerance. Akbar had inherited the throne, at the age of 13, in 1556. In 1579 he abolished the jiziya, a tax imposed on all but the poorest non-Muslims. This was the most notable in a series of measures to recruit the Hindu majority and others to the cause of unifying and expanding his empire........he preferred incentives to coercion. He defeated the war-like Rajputs, but gave them rank and married their princesses, who were permitted to conduct Hindu rites in the harem. The Mughal-Rajput alliance was a bulwark of his empire." which explains how there was a political improvement from the conditions created by religious policies.
b) "Akbar constructed a religious ideology that served to hold together a diffuse polity....he preferred incentives to coercion....notable in a series of measures to recruit the Hindu majority and others to the cause of unifying and expanding his empire." As stated in the texts his most notable series of measure he has taken is unifying and creating a government with a Muslim-Hindu relations, the religious policies themselves tore apart the empire, but Akbar was able to unify by making sure others feel included.
c) "...jiziya, a tax imposed on all but the poorest non-Muslims", this consequence on religious minorities took a whole a new level when the policy was created. This policy created inequality for specifically the poor non-Muslims, separating Muslims and non-Muslims and from rich and poor.
Explanation:
Don't forget to paraphrase and i'm glad to help!
Answer:
a) Akbar had a policy of religious tolerance. He unified his empire, often giving Hindus ranking positions forming alliances. Thus, Akbar’s religious policies were implemented in the background of such religious challenges posed to him, creating alliances like the Mughal-Rajput alliance establishing the safety of India.
b) His most notable series of the measure he has taken is unifying and creating a government with Muslim-Hindu relations, the religious policies themselves tore apart the empire, but Akbar was able to unify by making sure others feel included by giving incentives and recruiting Hindus.
c) The elimination of the jiziya for the poorest non-muslims came with a consequence on religious minorities that took a whole new level after the policy. This policy created inequality for specifically the poor non-Muslims, separating Muslims and non-Muslims and from rich and poor.

Answer:
The answer is Meroë. Hope this helps!
Meroe city in the kingdom of Kush is the oldest city in Africa. Thus, the correct answer is Option C.
Where was the Kingdom of Kush?Ancient Nubia's Kingdom of Kush was located in what is now northern Sudan and southern Egypt, with its heartland along the Nile Valley. Nubia served as an early center of civilization, giving rise to a number of sophisticated communities that participated in commerce and industry.
On the east bank of the Nile, about 6 km northeast of the Kabushiya station near Shendi, Sudan, was the ancient city of Meroe. From roughly 590 BC until its dissolution in the sixth century AD, this city served as the capital of the Kingdom of Kush. The site of the city of Meroe is marked by more than two hundred pyramids in three groups, of which many are in ruins.
One of a number of early nations that existed in the middle Nile was the Kingdom of Kush, which was the site of the city of Meroe. One of the earliest and most powerful states to be discovered on the African continent.
Therefore the oldest city on Africa, in the kingdom of Kush is Meroe.
