The Catholic Monarchs, Charles I and Philip II ruled over a great empire: the Iberian Peninsula, the Canary and Balearic Islands, a large part of the American continent and some parts of Europe, Asia and northern Africa. During the 16th century, there were some popular revolts on the peninsula, and the monarchs faced serious problems outside of Spain.

The musculoskeletal system


The musculoskeletal system is made up of the skeleton and the muscular system. The skeleton is made up of bones and cartilage. Bones are hard and strong, and cartilage is flexible but very strong too. Cartilage provides flexibility where two bones join together, and covers the ends of bones and joints to protect them and help the body move easily. Some important bones are the vertebrae, femur, ribs, ulna, radius and coccyx. The muscular system is made up of muscles. Muscles are strong and elastic and they work together with the bones. The muscles can carry out involuntary movements, such as the heartbeat and digestion, or voluntary movements, such as walking or eating. The gemellus, biceps, pectorals, orbicularis oris (eye muscles), deltoid and trapezius are some important muscles.

Using a compass

A compass is a simple instrument used for showing direction and locating the north and other cardinal points. It consists of a small needle that acts like a magnet and always points towards north because of the Earths magnetic field. Aviators, sailors, hunters and campers use compasses when they need to find directions.

Magnetic declination
The Earth is like a huge magnet with two magnetic poles: north and south. The position of these poles is not always the same. It varies slowly over time, and does not always coincide with the geographic poles. If you connect the two geographic poles with an imaginary line, you will see that there is a variation between that line and the line that joins the two magnetic poles. This is called the magnetic declination, . You often see a small angle on maps to show this variation and the direction in which it is produced so adjustments can be made on compasses.

In order to distinguish a machine from an operating part, we should first review the definition for operating part, simple machine and complex machine. Then we should apply the definition to the mechanism we want to analyse, specifically to its structure and how it works. When we analyse a wheel, we should reach this conclusion: a wheel is an operating part because it does work inside a machine but cannot do work by itself.

Interpreting geographical coordinates

Geographical coordinates are imaginary lines used to locate any point on the Earth. These lines are called meridians and parallels.

Meridians are the halves of the great circles between the two poles. They
divide the Earth from north to south. The Prime Meridian at Greenwich is the most important meridian. Meridians are also called lines of longitude.

Parallels are the complete circles which divide the Earth horizontally.
The most important is the Equator, which divides the Earth into two hemispheres, north and south. Parallels are also called lines of latitude.

The scale is the relationship between the real size of the area and its representation on the map. For example, a scale of 1:10 means that each centimetre on the map is equal to 10 m. of land.
