The greek philosophers believed in four basic elements which of the following was not specifically identified as one of these?
metal Ans#2: If you ask a question like this, you have to include the choices you were given. But I can tell you that the four elements they believed in were earth, air, water, and fire. There was also one called quintessence, which they believed the cosmos was made out of.
Why did people believe the geocentric theory?
Because of Ptolemy. This was a case of both secular and religious authorities forcing a theory (which was proven wrong in the ancient world) to be the received wisdom, due to a reluctance to accept new theories. It is taught to scientists nowadays as a warning, to always be on the watch that they do not grow so comfortable with a theory that they will struggle to defend it, even against overwhelming evidence to the contrary..
What country were the pilgrims from?
The English Separatists (now known as the Pilgrims) sailed in the 180-ton merchant vessel Mayflower from the English port of Plymouth on September 16, 1620. Their point of departure was the Barbican area known as the Mayflower Steps.They arrived in the New World in November, 1620, anchoring in what is now known as Provincetown Harbour, Cape Cod on November 21. It is documented that they discovered an empty village, which they investigated, stealing stored grain and digging up graves.This didn't endear them to the local Native Americans and the Mayflower moved along the coast, generally pillaging native camps as they went. Thoroughly out of favour by now with the locals, the pilgrims loaded up with more of the natives' corn and sought their religious freedoms in places they hoped hadn't yet heard the news about them, ending up in Plymouth, where they settled in March 1621.
