<h3>This paper traces the history of human-environment interactions in the Pacific Islands during the last millennium, focusing on three main periods: the Little Climatic Optimum, the Little Ice Age, and, in greatest detail, the transition around A.D. 1300 between the two. The Little Climatic Optimum (approximately A.D. 750–1300) was marked by warm, rising temperatures, rising sea level and probably increasing aridity. The latter condition was linked to development of water-conservatory strategies (agricultural terracing being the most common) requiring cooperation between human groups which facilitated formation of large nucleated settlements and increased sociopolitical complexity. The transition period (approximately A.D. 1270–1475) involved rapid temperature and sea-level fall, perhaps a short-lived precipitation increase. Temperature fall stressed crops and reef organisms, sea-level fall lowered water tables and exposed reef surfaces reducing their potential as food resources for coastal dwellers. Increased precipitation washed away exposed infrastructure. Consequently food resource bases on many islands diminished abruptly across the transition. The Little Ice Age (approximately A.D. 1300–1800) was marked by cooler temperatures and lower sea levels. The lingering effects of the earlier transition largely determined human lifestyles during this period. Conflict resulted from resource depletion. Unprotected coastal settlements were abandoned in favour of fortified inland, often upland, settlements. Climate change is suggested to have been a important determinant of human cultural change during the last millennium in the Pacific Islands.</h3>

Africa is huge meant that it is the second largest Continent on Earth.
Option: B
Explanation:
Africa is the second largest continent in respect of its size and population also. The first largest continent is Asia. Africa covered almost 6% of earth's surface alone. It is land of diversities of racial and ethnicity. Africa is characterized by hot and humid climate. Kalahari, Sahara desert is located in the Africa.
World's famous equatorial forest of Congo basin is in Africa where equatorial climate is present. Tropical equatorial climate is characterized by high temperature and high rainfall. This basin is situated side of Zaire river. Many tribal people are residing in Africa.
Explanation:
The number of people living within the city boundaries fell from around 440,000 in 1951 to about 390,000 in 2002. By November 2019 the number of people living within the Bristol local authority area was over 463,000, an increase of 35,000 from the 2011 census.
