Apartheid (“apartness” in the language of Afrikaans) was a system of legislation that upheld segregationist policies against non-white citizens of South Africa. After the National Party gained power in South Africa in 1948, its all-white government immediately began enforcing existing policies of racial segregation. Under apartheid, nonwhite South Africans (a majority of the population) would be forced to live in separate areas from whites and use separate public facilities. Contact between the two groups would be limited. Despite strong and consistent opposition to apartheid within and outside of South Africa, its laws remained in effect for the better part of 50 years. In 1991, the government of President F.W. de Klerk began to repeal most of the legislation that provided the basis for apartheid. President de Klerk and activist Nelson Mandela would later win the Nobel Peace Prize for their work creating a new constitution for South Africa.
Who Started Apartheid in South Africa?
Racial segregation and white supremacy had become central aspects of South African policy long before apartheid began. The controversial 1913 Land Act, passed three years after South Africa gained its independence, marked the beginning of territorial segregation by forcing black Africans to live in reserves and making it illegal for them to work as sharecroppers. Opponents of the Land Act formed the South African National Native Congress, which would become the African National Congress (ANC).
Did you know? ANC leader Nelson Mandela, released from prison in February 1990, worked closely with President F.W. de Klerk's government to draw up a new constitution for South Africa. After both sides made concessions, they reached agreement in 1993, and would share the Nobel Peace Prize that year for their efforts.
The Great Depression and World War II brought increasing economic woes to South Africa, and convinced the government to strengthen its policies of racial segregation. In 1948, the Afrikaner National Party won the general election under the slogan “apartheid” (literally “apartness”). Their goal was not only to separate South Africa’s white minority from its non-white majority, but also to separate non-whites from each other, and to divide black South Africans along tribal lines in order to decrease their political power.

Why is the western part of lake balkhash composed of fresh water, while the eastern part is composed of salt water pls HELP!
Answer:
Because the density isn’t the same.
Explanation:
i took the test on edge 2020
The snowmelt provides the freshwater. Because the saltwater portion is deeper and the densities are different, freshwater and saltwater do not combine.
What was lake balkhash ?One of the largest lakes in Asia and the fifteenth largest lake in the world, Lake Balkhash is located in southeast Kazakhstan. It is situated in the endorheic (closed) Balkhash-Alakol Basin, which is in the eastern region of Central Asia.
Seven rivers drain the basin, the main one being the Ili, which supplies the majority of riparian inflow. Other rivers, including the Karatal, provide surface and subsurface flow. The Ili receives precipitation from the mountains of China's Xinjiang province, primarily in the form of vernal snowmelt.
Currently, the lake spans roughly 16,400 km2 (6,300 sq mi). Yet, similar to the Aral Sea, itis decreasing as a result of the removal and diversion of water from its feeders. There is a small, rather central channel in the lake. The western portion of the lake is freshwater. The eastern side of the lake is salty. On average, the east is 1.7 times deeper than the west.

describe two models that show how earth and the sun move in space relative to each other.(I’ll mark brainliest and if you answer this it’ll give you 20 points)
Answer:
Model 1: Think of the ocean. The ocean is very large (like space) and contains a lot of smaller things in it (like solar systems and planets). Let's use a whale to model our solar system. The whale itself is the sun while the fish that follow it are like planets caught in its gravitational pull. The fish follow the whale, the whale moves around the ocean, like our solar system traveling around space while we orbit our sun.
Model 2: Let's just use a standard planet model for this (you know the one where the planets orbit the sun on it?). The room this model is in is like space, while the solar system occupies a corner of the room, kind of like our galaxy. The model itself represents our solar system and all the planets that orbit the sun.
Explanation:
I think the first model is better than the second, but I hope this helps

Ports in the Arctic Ocean can be used year-round to ship goods from Siberia to western Russia.
T or F.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
The Northern Sea Route, Sevigny Morskoy put, shortened to Севморпуть, Sevmorput) is a shipping route officially defined by Russian legislation as lying east of Novaya Zemlya and specifically running along the Russian Arctic coast from the Kara Sea, along Siberia, to the Bering Strait. The entire route lies in Arctic waters and within Russia's exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Parts are free of ice for only two months per year. The overall route on Russia's side of the Arctic between North Cape and the Bering Strait has been called the Northeast Passage, analogous to the Northwest Passage on the Canada side.
While the Northeast Passage includes all the East Arctic seas and connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the Northern Sea Route does not include the Barents Sea, and it therefore does not reach the Atlantic.
Melting Arctic ice caps are likely to increase traffic in and the commercial viability of the Northern Sea Route. One study, for instance, projects "remarkable shifts in trade flows between Asia and Europe, diversion of trade within Europe, heavy shipping traffic in the Arctic and a substantial drop in Suez traffic. Projected shifts in trade also imply substantial pressure on an already threatened Arctic ecosystem.

Answer:
A. The intersecting lines of latitude and longitude
Explanation:
The only way to find the exact, mathematically accurate location of a place on Earth, is by determine the exact latitude and longitude of the place.
For example, the island of Manhattan, in New York City, is located at 40.754932 latitude, and -73.984016 longitude. These values are what is known as the geographical coordinates of the Island. These coordinates can be put in any geographical software, and the exact location of Manhattan will come up.
