History of Europe

Windmills produce electricity by harnessing the power of wind, a clean and renewable energy source. They do not produce pollution themselves. However, there may be some environmental impact during the manufacturing and transportation of windmill components, and there may be visual or noise pollution in some cases.

The original rediscovery of Pompeii was in 1599 when people digging an underground chanel for the river Sarno stumbled across anchient walls covered in paintings. An architect, Domenico Fontana, was called in to examine them. He unearthed several more, but covered them back up, one of which stated 'decurio Pompeii', translated, the town councillor of Pompeii.

Pennies are made of copper-plated zinc. Over time, the copper plating can wear off due to exposure to elements like water, oxygen, and acids, leading to corrosion and disintegration. This process is accelerated in acidic environments like vinegar or saltwater.

A stone is 14lbs and before the metric system was introduced, the stone was commonly used. Many people still use the old system of ounces, pounds, stones, hundredweights, tons, etc.

Iceland:

The first Scandinavian who deliberately sailed to the island now known as Iceland was Flóki Vilgerðarson, also known as Hrafna-Flóki (Raven-Flóki). Flóki settled for one winter at Barðaströnd. It was a cold winter, and when he spotted some drift ice in the fjords he gave the island its current name, Ísland (Iceland).

Greenland:

The name Greenland comes from Scandinavian settlers. In the Icelandic sagas, it is said that Norwegian-born Erik the Red was exiled from Iceland for murder. He, along with his extended family and thralls, set out in ships to find the land that was rumoured to be to the northwest. After settling there, he named the land Grænland ("Greenland"). Greenland was also called Gruntland ("Ground-land") and Engronelant (or Engroneland) on early maps. Whether green is an erroneous transcription of grunt ("ground"), which refers to shallow bays, or vice versa, is not known. The southern portion of Greenland (not covered by glacier) is indeed very green in the summer and was likely to have been even greener in Erik's time because of the Medieval Warm Period.

The River Volga can be used for transportation, as it is one of the longest rivers in Europe and flows through several major cities in Russia. It is used for shipping goods, as well as for recreational activities such as boating and fishing. The river also plays a role in providing hydroelectric power and water supply to surrounding areas.

The Jutes were a Germanic tribe who lived in what is now Denmark. They were known for their seafaring skills and for eventually settling in what is now the region of Jutland. They mainly lived in small tribal communities, practiced agriculture, and were involved in trade with other Germanic tribes.

Windmills are used to convert wind energy into mechanical power or electricity. They have historically been used for activities such as grinding grains, pumping water, or generating electricity. Modern windmills are primarily used to produce renewable energy as a clean alternative to fossil fuels.

7 hills: Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian, Aventine and Palatine.

The five European peninsulas are the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), the Italian Peninsula (Italy), the Balkan Peninsula (Greece, Albania, Bulgaria), the Scandinavian Peninsula (Norway and Sweden), and the Jutland Peninsula (Denmark and a small part of Germany).

SCOTLAND

In Scotland in November and December the temprature can range from -5 to 7 degrees and the weather is frosty and icy with a good chance of snow between 5cms to 10cms.

January and february is when the cold snap comes and temp ranges from -15 to 3 degrees with lots of prolonged snow.

ENGLAND

in England winter is not a lot of snow but very icy and frosty but there is still a chance of prolonged snow occasionaly.

(Myth) by Romulus and Remus, twins and sons of the priestess Rhea Silvia, fathered by the god of war, Mars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romulus_and_Remus Basically, Rom and Rem were raised by wolfs. and . just read it ;)

The Middle Ages were a historic period in European History. They lasted from about 476 to 1453 or 1492, and apply to all of Europe.

A certain amount of caution has to be exercised about this. The nature of the Middle Ages was very different in different parts of Europe. I would break the area down into sections: the Byzantine Empire, Spain, Northwestern Europe, Eastern Europe, and Northern Europe. Each of these was very distinct from the rest.

The Byzantine Empire was marked by a certain continuity of Roman law and politics, and a more or less continuing decline, until it disappeared in 1453.

Spain was an area influenced by a combination of Christian, Islamic, and Jewish cultures.

Northwestern Europe had a history of decline and gradual growth, the influence of Charlemagne, the and an increase in the importance of education that was ongoing.

Northern Europe was an area evangelized by Catholic monks, who brought new ways of thought and took the area into a part of Europe influenced by Rome.

Eastern Europe was an area evangelized by Eastern Orthodox monks who similarly brought new ways of thought and took the area into a part of Europe influenced by Constantinople.

Caesar was Augustus's last name and his father was Julius Caesar but really his` nephew but Julius adopted him i no this because my dads a historian and i asked him and he said this.

In 2021, there were 20 operating wind turbines in Louisiana.

Hale-Bopp was discovered on July 23, 1995 at a great distance from the Sun, raising expectations that the comet would brighten considerably by the time it passed close to Earth. Hale-Bopp met or exceeded most predictions when it passedperihelion on April 1, 1997. The comet was dubbed the Great Comet of 1997.

The passage of Hale-Bopp was notable also for inciting a degree of comet related panic. Rumours that an alien spacecraft was following the comet gained remarkable interest, and inspired a mass suicide among followers of the Heaven's Gate cult. Probably helped by UFO enthusiasts, who concluded that there was an alien spacecraft following the comet. Choosing the appearance of the comet as a signal for their mass suicide. They claimed they were leaving their earthly bodies to travel to the spaceship following the comet.

Its lengthy period of visibility and extensive coverage in the media meant that Hale-Bopp was probably the most observed comet in history, making a far greater impact on the general public than the return of Halley's Comet in 1986, and certainly seen by a greater number of people than witnessed any of Halley's previous appearances. It was a record breaking comet the furthest comet from the Sun discovered by amateurs, with the largest well measured cometary nucleus known after Chiron, and it was visible to the naked eye for twice as long as the previous record holder. It was also brighter than magnitude 0 for eight weeks, longer than any other recorded comet.

It is called a whirligig by the British and a pinwheel in the US and Canada.

The biggest windmill in the world is probably the Enercon E-126, which has a rotor diameter of 126 meters (413 feet). This wind turbine is capable of generating a maximum power output of 7.58 megawatts.

No: It is an Islamic Republic. Absolutely not! It was for a while until the last Shah was deposed by the Ayatollah Khomeni, but now it would claim to be a democracy, with an elected President, but the real power lies with the unelected clerics behind the scenes.

Portugal developed a route to Asia while still exploring Africa. Portuguese-sponsored explorer Vasco de Gama was the first person to sail around the southern tip of Africa, proving that it was possible to sail from Europe to Asia around the African land mass.

Yes, Vasco da Gama led the first successful expedition around the Cape of Good Hope to India in 1498, opening a sea route from Europe to Asia. This accomplishment played a significant role in the Age of Exploration and reshaped global trade.

Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model of the universe with the sun at the center, while Ptolemy's model was geocentric, with the Earth at the center. Copernicus' model revolutionized astronomy by correctly positioning the planets in relation to the sun and providing a simpler explanation for the motion of celestial bodies.
