A shield volcano is a type of volcano usually built almost entirely of fluid lava flows . They are named for their low profile , resembling a warrior 's shield lying on the ground . This is caused by the highly fluid ( low viscosity ) lava they erupt which travels farther than lava erupted from stratovolcanoes . This results in the steady accumulation of broad sheets of lava , building up the shield volcano 's distinctive form . The shape of shield volcanoes is due to the low viscosity of their mafic lava .

Classical Greece was a period of around 200 years ( 5th and 4th centuries BC ) in Greek culture . This Classical period saw the annexation of much of modern - day Greece by the Persian Empire and its subsequent independence . Classical Greece had a powerful influence on the Roman Empire and on the foundations of western civilization . Much of modern Western politics , artistic thought ( architecture , sculpture ) , scientific thought , theatre , literature , and philosophy derives from this period of Greek history . In the context of the art , architecture , and culture of Ancient Greece , the Classical period corresponds to most of the 5th and 4th centuries BC ( the most common dates being the fall of the last Athenian tyrant in 510 BC and the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC ) . The Classical period in this sense follows the Archaic period and is in turn succeeded by the Hellenistic period .

In the wake of the Charleston church shooting in June 2015 , several municipalities in the United States removed monuments and memorials dedicated to the Confederate States of America . The momentum accelerated in August 2017 after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville , Virginia . The removals were driven by the belief that the monuments glorify white supremacy and memorialize a government whose founding principle was the perpetuation and expansion of slavery . Many of those who object to the removals claim that the artifacts are part of the cultural heritage of the United States .

Society during the Edo period , also called Tokugawa period ( 1603 and 1868 CE ) , in Japan was ruled by strict customs and regulations intended to promote stability . Confucian ideas provided the foundation for a system of strict social prescriptions . At the top of the social order , although below the Emperor , the shōgun , daimyōs ( lords ) , and the samurai were the ruling class . The peasants ( heimin ) lived in villages and produced agricultural goods . Increasing urbanization and rising consumerism created merchant and artisan classes in towns and cities . Social mobility during this period was highly limited . As wealth became concentrated outside of the samurai class , conflicts between class arose and the social order became increasingly challenged .

A month is a unit of time , used with calendars , which is approximately as long as a natural period related to the motion of the Moon ; month and Moon are cognates . The traditional concept arose with the cycle of moon phases ; such months ( lunations ) are synodic months and last approximately 29.53 days . From excavated tally sticks , researchers have deduced that people counted days in relation to the Moon 's phases as early as the Paleolithic age . Synodic months , based on the Moon 's orbital period with respect to the Earth - Sun line , are still the basis of many calendars today , and are used to divide the year .

The dowry system in India refers to the durable goods , cash , and real or movable property that the bride 's family gives to the bridegroom , his parents , or his relatives as a condition of the marriage . Dowry stemmed from India 's skewed inheritance laws , and the Hindu Succession Act needed to be amended to stop the routine disinheritance of daughters . Dowry is essentially in the nature of a payment in cash or some kind of gifts given to the bridegroom 's family along with the bride and includes cash , jewellery , electrical appliances , furniture , bedding , crockery , utensils and other household items that help the newlyweds set up their home . Dowry is referred to as Jahez in Arabic ( derived from Islamic jahez - e-fatimi ) . In far eastern parts of India , dowry is called Aaunnpot .

The Abrahamic religions , also referred to collectively as Abrahamism , are a group of Semitic - originated religious communities of faith that claim descent from the practices of the ancient Israelites and the worship of the God of Abraham . The term derives from a figure from the Bible known as Abraham . Abrahamic religion was able to spread globally through Christianity being adopted by the Roman Empire in the 4th century and the Islamic Empire from the 7th century onward . As a consequence , today the Abrahamic religions are one of the major divisions in comparative religion ( along with Indian , Iranian , and East Asian religions ) . Judaism , Christianity , and Islam are the largest Abrahamic religions in terms of numbers of adherents .

Euryhaline organisms are able to adapt to a wide range of salinities . An example of a euryhaline fish is the molly ( Poecilia sphenops ) which can live in fresh water , brackish water , or salt water . The green crab ( Carcinus maenas ) is an example of a euryhaline invertebrate that can live in salt and brackish water . Euryhaline organisms are commonly found in habitats such as estuaries and tide pools where the salinity changes regularly . However , some organisms are euryhaline because their life cycle involves migration between freshwater and marine environments , as is the case with salmon and eels .

A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromosome , which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes . Its name is derived from the Greek nouns telos ( τέλος ) `` end '' and merοs ( μέρος , root : μερ - ) `` part '' . For vertebrates , the sequence of nucleotides in telomeres is TT A GGG , with the complementary DNA strand being AATCCC , with a single - stranded TTAGGG overhang . This sequence of TTAGGG is repeated approximately 2,500 times in humans . In humans , average telomere length declines from about 11 kilobases at birth to less than 4 kilobases in old age , with the average rate of decline being greater in men than in women .

A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex . In vertebrates , most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain , but synapse in the spinal cord . This allows for faster reflex actions to occur by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain . However , the brain will receive the sensory input while the reflex is being carried out and the analysis of the signal takes place after the reflex action .

In the physical sciences , mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy . It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object . The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that in an isolated system that is only subject to conservative forces , the mechanical energy is constant . If an object is moved in the opposite direction of a conservative net force , the potential energy will increase and if the speed ( not the velocity ) of the object is changed , the kinetic energy of the object is changed as well . In all real systems , however , nonconservative forces , like frictional forces , will be present , but often they are of negligible values and the mechanical energy 's being constant can therefore be a useful approximation . In elastic collisions , the mechanical energy is conserved but in inelastic collisions , some mechanical energy is converted into heat . The equivalence between lost mechanical energy ( dissipation ) and an increase in temperature was discovered by James Prescott Joule .

A polar body is a small haploid cell that is formed concomitantly as an egg cell during oogenesis , but which generally does not have the ability to be fertilized . When certain diploid cells in animals undergo cytokinesis after meiosis to produce egg cells , they sometimes divide unevenly . Most of the cytoplasm is segregated into one daughter cell , which becomes the egg or ovum , while the smaller polar bodies only get a small amount of cytoplasm . They frequently die ( apoptosis ) and disappear , but in some cases they remain and can be important in the life cycle of the organism .

Capital punishment in the United Kingdom was used from ancient times until the second half of the 20th century . The last executions in the United Kingdom were by hanging , and took place in 1964 , prior to capital punishment being abolished for murder ( in 1965 in Great Britain and in 1973 in Northern Ireland ) . Although unused , the death penalty remained a legally defined punishment for certain offences such as treason until it was completely abolished in 1998 . In 2004 the 13th Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights became binding on the United Kingdom , prohibiting the restoration of the death penalty for as long as the UK is a party to the Convention .

Fresh water is generally characterized by having low concentrations of dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids . The term specifically excludes seawater and brackish water although it does include mineral - rich waters such as chalybeate springs . The term `` sweet water '' ( from Spanish `` agua dulce '' ) has been used to describe fresh water in contrast to salt water . The term `` fresh water '' does not have the same meaning as potable water . Much of the surface fresh water and ground water is unsuitable for drinking without some form of purification because of the presence of chemical or biological contaminants .

Capital punishment in the United Kingdom was used from ancient times until the second half of the 20th century . The last executions in the United Kingdom were by hanging , and took place in 1964 , prior to capital punishment being abolished for murder ( in 1965 in Great Britain and in 1973 in Northern Ireland ) . Although unused , the death penalty remained a legally defined punishment for certain offences such as treason until it was completely abolished in 1998 . In 2004 the 13th Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights became binding on the United Kingdom , prohibiting the restoration of the death penalty for as long as the UK is a party to the Convention .
