Serga [27]1 year ago

Volcanoes can be two broad types: stratovolcano and a shield volcano namely.

In volcanology, viscosity plays a crucial role. High viscous (extremely sticky) magma eruptions typically result in steep-sided volcanoes with 30-35° slopes. This is due to the fact that the viscous volcanic material doesn't flow very far once it is erupted; instead, it accumulates in layers to form a cone-shaped volcano called a stratovolcano. In contrast, shield volcanoes have mild slopes of less than 10° and produce more basalt fluid lavas during eruption. A shield volcano's eruption can cause the basalt to flow far from the vent, creating broad, gentle slopes.

List and describe at least four reasons why some countries are rich and some are poor. Long Explanation Required!
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

In common language, the terms "rich" and "poor" are often used in a relative sense: A "poor" person has less income, wealth, goods, or services than a "rich" person. When considering nations, economists often use gross domestic product (GDP) per capita as an indicator of average economic well-being within a country. GDP is the total market value, expressed in dollars, of all final goods and services produced in an economy in a given year. In a sense, a country's GDP is like its yearly income. So, dividing a particular country's GDP by its population is an estimate of how much income, on average, the economy produces per person (per capita) per year. In other words, GDP per capita is a measure of a nation's standard of living. For example, in 2016, GDP per capita was $57,467 in the United States, $42,158 in Canada, $27,539 in South Korea, $8,123 in China, $1,513 in Ghana, and $455 in Liberia (Figure 1).

Because GDP per capita is simply GDP divided by the population, it is a measure of income as if it were divided equally among the population. In reality, there can be large differences in the incomes of people within a country. So, even in a country with relatively low GDP, some people will be better off than others. And, there are poor people in very wealthy countries. In 2013 (the most recent year comprehensive data on global poverty are available), 767 million people, or 10.7 percent of the world population, were estimated to be living below the international poverty line of $1.90 per person per day.3 Whether for people or nations, the key to escaping poverty lies in rising levels of income. For nations specifically, which measure wealth in terms of GDP, escaping poverty requires increasing the amount of output (per person) that their economy produces. In short, economic growth enables countries to escape poverty.

Like other major cities, Los Angeles has experienced violence and civil unrest. Why did Los Angeles experience riots in 1992? Qu
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The Los Angeles riots of 1992 were a series of serious riots, looting, and arson that took place in Los Angeles County, California in 1992. These were the largest riots in the United States since the 1967 Detroit riots, the largest in Los Angeles since the 1965 Watts riots, and the riots with the highest number of deaths since the 1863 riots in New York.

The riots began on April 29, 1992, when a jury acquitted four white policemen accused of beating a black taxi driver Rodney King, who resisted to be arrested. A video showing King being beaten by police officers was released to the media. As a result, thousands of African American citizens in Los Angeles, considering the verdict as unfair, took to the streets. The riots lasted six days. The crowd carried out thefts, assaults and arson, with losses estimated at over 1 billion dollars. Peace on the streets was restored only after members of the National Guard of California, 7th Infantry Division and the 1st Maritime Division were called to prevent further riots when the local police were unable to control the situation. In total, 63 people were killed during the riots, 2,383 people were injured, over 12,000 were arrested and 3,767 buildings were burned.
