[Answer] What country contains the point on Earth that lies farthest from the planet’s core?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What country contains the point on Earth that lies farthest from the planet’s core?"

...Although Mount Everest is the tallest mountain above sea level, the point on Earth farthest from the planet’s core is actually the summit of Chimborazo, a stratovolcano in Ecuador. Because Earth bulges at the equator due to its rotation, elevations near the equator begin farther from the core than those at higher latitudes. As a result, Chimborazo’s summit—despite being about 9,000 feet shorter than Everest—extends roughly two miles farther into space than Everest does. This makes Ecuador, not Nepal, Peru, or China, the country whose territory reaches the greatest distance from Earth’s center.

[Answer] English borrows the most words from what other language?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "English borrows the most words from what other language?"

...French is the largest source of borrowed vocabulary in the English language, a result that traces back to the Norman Conquest of 1066. After the conquest, French became the language of government, the courts, and the upper classes in England. Because of this long period of influence, thousands of French terms—such as “justice,” “attorney,” “beef,” and “government”—entered English and became permanent fixtures. Linguists estimate that about 30% of English words come from French, making it the largest contributor to the English vocabulary.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which German city was the location of the war crime trials of Nazi leaders after World War II?"

...The landmark war crime proceedings against top Nazi officials were held in the city of Nuremberg, beginning in November 1945.

The Nuremberg Trials became a historic turning point in international law, establishing the principles of individual accountability for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against peace.
